Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you experiencing the frustration of a blocked toilet in East Lothian? Don't worry, we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we understand the urgency of unblocking a toilet, and our expert plumbers are here to guide you through the process.

Before we dive into the unblocking process, it's essential to understand what might be causing the blockage. Common culprits include excessive toilet paper, sanitary products, and even children's toys. If you're unsure what's causing the blockage, it's best to call in the professionals to avoid any further damage.

1. Turn off the water supply: Locate the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turn it clockwise to prevent any further water from flowing into the toilet bowl.
2. Use a plunger: This is the most common and effective tool for unblocking a toilet. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the drain hole, then push down and pull up quickly to create suction. Repeat this process several times until the blockage is cleared.
3. Use a drain snake: If the plunger doesn't work, you may need to use a drain snake (also known as an auger) to remove any stubborn blockages. Feed the snake into the drain hole and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
4. Use high-pressure water jetting: If the above methods don't work, you may need to use high-pressure water jetting equipment to clear the blockage. This is a more advanced technique and should only be attempted by a professional plumber.

If you're not comfortable using a plunger or drain snake, or if the blockage persists after attempting to unblock it yourself, it's time to call in the professionals. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, our experienced plumbers have the equipment and expertise to fix even the most stubborn blockages.
