Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you facing a blocked toilet emergency in East Lothian, but don't have a plunger handy? Don't worry, Blocked Drains Edinburgh is here to help. Our team of expert drainage engineers has put together a simple guide on how to clear a blocked toilet without a plunger.

First, locate the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turn it clockwise to stop the water supply. This will prevent any further water from flowing into the toilet bowl.

Use a mop to remove as much water as possible from the toilet bowl. This will make it easier to work on the blockage.

If you don't have a plunger, you can create a makeshift one using a large bucket or a container with a tight-fitting lid. Fill the bucket with hot water, and then use it to create suction on the blocked toilet. This worked for many of our customers in East Lothian.

If the DIY plunger doesn't work, you can try using a drain snake or auger to remove the blockage. Feed the snake into the toilet drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.

Another method is to pour 1 cup of baking soda into the toilet bowl, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight, and then try to flush the toilet. This method has worked for many of our customers in East Lothian.

If all else fails, you can try using a bag to remove the blockage. Put on a pair of rubber gloves, and then use a bag to scoop out the blockage. This method requires some elbow grease, but it can be effective.

If you've tried all of the above methods and still can't clear the blockage, it's time to call in the professionals. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, our team of expert drainage engineers is available 24/7 to help you clear your blocked toilet.
