What causes a tissue paper blockage in a toilet?

Tissue paper blockages are common in toilets, especially if you use too much paper or you flush non-dissolving tissue paper in your toilet. The paper can accumulate and form a blockage in the toilet bowl. Other factors that may contribute to toilet blockages include flushing inappropriate items, such as sanitary towels, wipes, or other toiletries.

Tools needed to unblock a toilet

Before you begin the process of unblocking your toilet, it is essential to ensure that you have the right tools. Here is a list of the tools you will need:

1. Plunger

A plunger is an essential tool for unblocking toilets. It creates pressure that dislodges tissue paper or any obstruction that may be blocking your toilet.

2. Auger

If the plunger fails to remove the blockage, you may use an auger. An auger, also known as a plumber's snake, is a long, flexible tool that can reach deep into the drainpipes to break up any material that may be blocking your toilet.

3. Gloves

You may also need a pair of gloves to protect your hands from water and dirt.

Steps to unblock a toilet

1. Turn off the water supply to the toilet

Before you start unblocking your toilet, turn off the water supply to the toilet to avoid flooding. You can do this by turning off the valve located behind the toilet bowl.

2. Use a plunger

Take the plunger and place it in the toilet bowl. Make sure that it covers the hole completely. Press it down firmly and begin pumping the plunger up and down without lifting it off the hole. Do this several times until the blockage is removed. If the blockage persists, try a different angle or use more force.

3. Use an auger

If the plunger fails to remove the blockage, use an auger. Insert the auger into the toilet drain, turn the handle until it reaches the clog, and then twist the auger back and forth to break up the blockage. Once the blockage has been broken up, flush the toilet to clear the drain.

4. Pour hot water

If the above methods fail to remove the blockage, try pouring hot water into the toilet bowl. The hot water will soften the tissue paper, making it easier to move down the drain.

5. Call Drainage Cumbria

If the above methods fail to remove the blockage, don't hesitate to call Drainage Cumbria. We will send our highly skilled and experienced technicians to unblock your toilet using advanced tools and techniques.

Prevention measures for tissue paper blockages

Prevention is better than cure. To avoid tissue paper blockages in your toilet, follow these simple measures:

• Use only a reasonable amount of toilet paper.
• Avoid flushing non-dissolvable toilet papers, such as wet wipes, paper towels and facial tissues, among others.
• Discard other materials that may cause blockages, such as sanitary towels, condoms, oils, and paints, among others, in the appropriate waste bins.
