Before we dive into how we can unblock your toilet, let's first understand how the toilet system works and what causes blockages. A toilet comprises three main parts: the bowl, the tank, and the pipes. The bowl holds the water that connects to the discharge pipes beneath the floor, while the tank fills and flushes the bowl.

Blockages occur when there is a hindrance in the flow of water and waste in the pipes, either from foreign objects or a build-up of waste material. The common causes of blocked toilets are:

• Flushing inappropriate items like wipes, paper towels, sanitary products, and toys down the toilet bowl.
• Excessive toilet paper usage.
• Hard water deposit build-up, which restricts water flow.
• Tree roots or other foreign objects in the pipes.
• Old or damaged pipes.

These causes can result in slow-emptying toilets, reduced water flow, or complete blocking of the toilet. If you experience any of these issues, contact Drainage Cumbria immediately, and we will promptly attend to your blocked toilet in Haile.
