Using A Plunger

A plunger is a handheld tool that can be used to manually create suction in your toilet bowl. When the suction force is powerful enough, it can dislodge the blockage, allowing water to flow freely again. Our team is highly skilled in using a plunger to unblock toilets.

Using A Drain Snake

A drain snake is a flexible metal tube that our team can insert into your toilet's drain. Once we have positioned the snake correctly, we can rotate it, causing the blockage to break down, thus freeing the toilet's flow.

Using High-Pressure Water Jetting

Water jetting is another technique that we use to unblock toilets. This method involves using a high-pressure water jet to blast the blockage away. Our team uses this technique when traditional methods like plunging and drain snaking don't work.

How To Use A Plunger To Unblock Your Toilet Yourself

If you need to unblock your toilet before our team of professionals can arrive, you can use a plunger to do it yourself. Here's how:

• Get a plunger with a flange and a snug cup that fits into your toilet bowl.

• Add some water to your toilet bowl if necessary.

• Place the plunger over your toilet's drain hole, ensuring that it creates a tight seal around the edges.

• Pump the plunger handle up and down vigorously, creating a suction force in the toilet bowl.

• Continue this action until water starts to flow freely.

If you can't unblock your toilet using a plunger, don't worry. Our team at Drainage Cumbria has the experience, skill, and equipment to tackle even the toughest toilet blockages.
