Are you experiencing a blocked toilet in East Lothian? Don't worry, we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we understand the stress and inconvenience caused by a blocked toilet. In this article, we'll walk you through the steps to fix a blocked toilet and provide you with expert advice on how to prevent future blockages.

Before you start, it's essential to have the right equipment to fix a blocked toilet. You'll need a plunger, a toilet auger (also known as a closet auger), and a pair of gloves. If you don't have these tools, you can purchase them at a local hardware store.

To fix a blocked toilet, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the water supply: Locate the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turn it clockwise to shut off the water supply.
2. Use a plunger: Place the plunger over the clogged drain hole and push down slowly and steadily. Hold for a few seconds, then lift up. Repeat this process several times.
3. Use a toilet auger: If the plunger doesn't work, use a toilet auger to remove any blockages. Feed the auger into the drain hole and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
4. Check for blockages: Once you've removed any visible blockages, check the toilet to see if it's draining properly.

To prevent future blockages, make sure to:

• Be mindful of what you flush down the toilet. Avoid flushing sanitary products, wipes, and other non-biodegradable items.
• Use a toilet strainer to catch any hair or debris before it goes down the drain.
• Regularly clean your toilet and drain pipes to prevent mineral buildup.
