Plunger for Blocked Toilets

If you're experiencing a minor blockage, using a plunger might be enough to dislodge the obstruction. Here are the steps to use a plunger to unblock your toilet:

1. Fill your toilet bowl with enough water to cover the plunger.
2. Position the plunger over the drain hole and press down firmly.
3. Push and pull the plunger vigorously until the water starts to drain.
4. Repeat the process until the blockage is cleared.

While this may seem like a simple solution, using a plunger incorrectly could actually damage your toilet further. If you're unsure about how to use a plunger, don't hesitate to call Drainage Cumbria for professional assistance.

Using Drain Snakes to Unblock Your Toilet

If a plunger doesn't work, you can try using a drain snake. This tool is a long metal cable with a hook or sharp edge to dislodge and remove the blockage from the pipe. Here's how to use a drain snake to clear your blocked toilet:

1. Insert the drain snake into the toilet bowl and push it down the drain.
2. Turn the handle clockwise as you push the snake deeper.
3. When you reach the blockage, turn the handle counterclockwise to hook the obstruction.
4. Pull the snake out of the toilet, taking the blockage with it.

While drain snakes are effective tools, they require a certain level of expertise to use properly. If you're not confident about using a drain snake, call in the professionals at Drainage Cumbria for assistance.

High-Pressure Water Jetting

For more complex blockages, high-pressure water jetting may be the best solution. This method involves using a powerful jet of water to dislodge and flush away the blockage. Here's how high-pressure water jetting works:

1. A specialized water jetting machine is connected to your toilet's drain pipe.
2. The machine delivers a high-pressure blast of water, breaking down and flushing away the blockage.
3. The water jetting machine is slowly moved down the drain pipe until the entire blockage is cleared.

While this technique is incredibly effective, it requires special equipment and training. At Drainage Cumbria, our team of professionals is trained and equipped to provide high-pressure water jetting services for all types of blocked toilets.
