How to Detect a Blocked Toilet

There are several signs that you can look out for if you suspect that you have a blocked toilet. The most common one is when you flush the toilet, and the water doesn't drain properly. If you notice this or any other symptoms such as gurgling sounds, unpleasant smells or water is overflowing in the bowl, you can be certain that you have a blocked toilet.

Although you can try to fix the problem yourself with a plunger or by using chemicals, many blockages are stubborn, and it's best to contact a professional drainage company like Draining Cumbria.

How We Handle Blocked Toilets

When we receive your call, our team will arrive at your premises as soon as possible. Once we assess the situation, we will provide you with a no-obligation quote for the work required.

Our plumbers use the latest techniques to diagnose and remove blockages with minimal disruption to your property. We will use a range of tools and equipment such as CCTV cameras, high-pressure water jetters, and drain machines to ensure that we identify and remove the blockage.

We will also inspect the pipes to determine whether there are any underlying issues that could cause blockages in the future. If we notice any other problems, we will recommend a solution that will prevent any future blockages or damage to your plumbing system.

Prevention Is Better Than Cure

Blockages can occur due to different factors such as flushing foreign objects or inappropriate materials down the toilet, soap residue or grease buildup in the pipes, and tree roots interfering with the pipes. You can avoid unpleasant blockages in the future by adopting the following prevention measures;

• Dispose of sanitary items, wet wipes, tissue paper, and other foreign objects in the bin instead of flushing them in the toilet.
• Avoid pouring oils, greases and fats down the sink or drains.
• Regularly clean your pipes and drains using warm water, vinegar, and baking soda.
• Install drain guards to trap food particles, hair, and oil from entering your drains.
