A blocked toilet can be a frustrating and unpleasant experience, especially when you need to use it urgently. Before we dive into the solution, it's essential to understand what might be causing the blockage. Common causes of a blocked toilet include:

• Excessive toilet paper usage
• Flushing non-biodegradable items
• Clogged drainpipes
• Poor toilet maintenance

If you're dealing with a blocked toilet in East Lothian, follow these steps to try and flush it:

1. Turn off the water supply: Locate the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turn it clockwise to shut off the water supply. This will prevent further water from flowing into the toilet bowl.
2. Use a plunger: A plunger is the most common tool used to unblock toilets. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the hole, then push down slowly and steadily until you feel resistance. Hold for a few seconds, then lift up. Repeat this process several times.
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.
4. Use baking soda and vinegar: 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, then try flushing the toilet again.
