At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we understand the stress and urgency that comes with a blocked toilet. In this article, we'll guide you through the steps to fix a blocked toilet at home, and when to call in the professionals.

Before we dive into the fix, it's essential to understand what might have caused 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 err on the side of caution and seek professional help.

To fix a blocked toilet at home, you'll need a few essential tools:

• A plunger
• A toilet auger (also known as a closet auger)
• Gloves
• A bucket or container to catch any spills

If you're comfortable with DIY repairs, you can try using a plunger to create suction and dislodge the blockage. If this doesn't work, you may need to use a toilet auger to break up the blockage. Be careful not to scratch the toilet bowl or pipes.

If you're dealing with a severe blockage or overflow, it's essential to act quickly to prevent further damage. Turn off the water supply to the toilet by locating the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turning it clockwise. If you're unsure how to do this, it's best to call a professional.

If you suspect a gas leak or damaged pipes, do not attempt to fix the blockage yourself. Gas leaks can be hazardous, and damaged pipes can cause further damage to your home. Call a professional plumber or gas engineer to assess and repair the issue.
