Step-by-Step Guide to Clearing a Blocked Toilet

  1. Turn off the water supply: Locate the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turn it clockwise to shut off the water supply to the toilet. This will prevent further water from flowing into the toilet bowl.
  2. Use a plunger: A plunger is the most common tool used to clear a blocked toilet. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the clogged 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 can try using a drain snake (also known as an auger). Feed the snake into the drain hole and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This can help break up any blockages that are further down the pipe.
  4. Use high-pressure water jetting: If the above methods don't work, you may need to use high-pressure water jetting to clear the blockage. This involves using a specialized machine to blast water through the pipe and clear any blockages.

Preventing Future Blockages

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)
  • Regularly clean your toilet and drain pipes
  • Use a drain maintenance product to help break down any grease and debris that may be building up in your pipes
