Plunger

Using a plunger is a simple yet effective way to remove minor blockages from your toilet. We will insert the plunger into the toilet and use a pumping motion to create a vacuum that will dislodge the blockage.

Drain Snake

When a plunger doesn't work, we use a drain snake to remove the blockage. A drain snake is a long, flexible wire that has a hook on one end that we insert into the toilet's drainage system. We maneuver the snake around to catch the blocked material and pull it out.

Hydro-Jetting

Sometimes, blockages are too stubborn for plunger or drain snake methods. In such cases, we use hydro-jetting to remove the blockage. We use a high-pressure water jet to blast the blockage away, leaving the toilet clean and unblocked.

How to Avoid Future Blockages

Blocked toilets are inconvenient and can lead to significant damage to your property. Fortunately, you can avoid future blockages by following these tips:

1. Do not flush foreign objects down the toilet - Only flush toilet paper and human waste.

2. Proper use of the toilet - Teach your children the correct way to use the toilet, and avoid flushing excessive amounts of toilet paper in one go.

3. Regular cleaning - Regular cleaning and maintenance of your toilet can help prevent blockages.

4. Call a professional - If you experience multiple blockages, it may be indicative of a more severe issue. Call Drainage Cumbria immediately for a thorough inspection.
