How to Unblock a Toilet Yourself

If you are faced with a blocked toilet and can't get an expert in right away, there are some simple steps you can take. To begin with, take note that it is best to avoid common mistakes that can worsen the situation:

1. Do not continue flushing- To avoid overflowing the toilet and making the blockage worse.

2. Avoid Using chemicals- Avoid pouring chemicals like bleach or drain cleaner down the toilet. Chemicals can damage pipes, leading to bigger plumbing problems.

A safer way would be to pour hot water gently into the bowl and add some washing powder; this can help dissolve the blockage effectively. A plunger can also dislodge the blockage by creating pressure and covering the hole leading to the drain.

Though the above methods may occasionally work for minor blockages, professional help is most often needed for difficult or recurring blockages.
