Are you dealing with a blocked toilet in East Lothian and looking for a solution? At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we've helped numerous homeowners and businesses in the area resolve their drainage issues. In this article, we'll walk you through the process of clearing a blocked toilet using caustic soda.

Before attempting to clear your blocked toilet, make sure you have the necessary protective gear, including gloves and goggles. Caustic soda can be hazardous, so it's essential to take precautions.

First, put on your protective gear and clear the surrounding area of any obstructions. You may need to move any furniture or rugs to prevent damage from potential spills.

Pour 1-2 cups of caustic soda into the toilet bowl, making sure to avoid splashing. The caustic soda will start to break down the blockage, but be careful not to inhale the fumes.

Allow the caustic soda to work its magic for 30 minutes to an hour. During this time, the mixture will start to break down the blockage, and you may hear a gurgling sound as the water starts to flow.

After the waiting period, use a mop to carefully pour hot water into the toilet bowl. This will help to flush out the remaining blockage. Be cautious, as the mixture can still be hazardous.

Once the blockage has been cleared, use a bag to dispose of any remaining waste. Make sure to tie the bag securely to prevent any spills.
