When the toilet becomes blocked, we recommend calling the professionals to clear the blockage safely and effectively. You can try using a plunger however, trying to do it yourself can make the situation worse. It is important to identify the location and cause of the blockage to clear it properly without causing further damage.
Whatever you do, do not flush a clogged or overflowing toilet because the water will spill out onto the floor. If the toilet is clogged, the bowl should hold two flushes.
At Up and Running Drainage, we try and unblock toilets using a plunger first. If that doesn’t work, we use a high-pressure jet washer. As well as ensuring the blockage is thoroughly cleared, we provide a full clean-up and sanitisation service.
No matter the cause of blocked toilets, our drain company provides fast and reliable solutions. Our service covers:
Most toilet blockages result from people flushing unsuitable items down the toilet – wet wipes are responsible for 90% of blocked drains!
To keep your drainage system clear and working properly, only ever flush toilet paper, pee and poo. The following are some key items that you should never flush down the toilet:
Blocked toilets aren’t just a nuisance; they can also pose a risk to health and property. Firstly, a clogged toilet means water sits and stagnates rather than flowing away. This creates a breeding ground for all kinds of bacteria. Furthermore, a blocked toilet is at risk of overflowing. If a lot of water overflows, it can damage the floor, woodwork, furniture and electrical systems. In severe cases, the water can even cause structural property damage.
The wastewater and sewage from an overflowing toilet are far from sanitary and can pose a serious health risk. Anything that comes into contact with sewage should be thrown away and the affected area thoroughly cleaned.
For peace of mind, our drain company in the Yeovil and Dorchester areas will unblock toilets before cleaning and sanitising.
