Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you dealing with a clogged toilet in East Lothian, caused by an excessive amount of toilet paper? Don't worry, we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we understand the stress and urgency of such situations, and we're here to guide you through the process of unblocking your toilet.

Before attempting to unblock your toilet, make sure to put on a pair of rubber gloves to protect your hands from bacteria and germs. You'll also need a mop and a bucket to clean up any spills or water that may overflow from the toilet.

If your toilet is overflowing, quickly turn off the water supply by locating the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turning it clockwise. This will prevent further water from flowing into the toilet bowl.

Try using a plunger to create suction and loosen the blockage. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the clogged drain hole, then push down slowly and steadily until you feel resistance. Hold for a few seconds, then lift up. Repeat this process several times until the blockage is cleared.

If the plunger doesn't work, you can try using a plumbing snake (auger) to remove the blockage. Feed the snake into the drain hole and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This can help break up the blockage and allow water to flow freely again.

If the above methods don't work, you can try using a combination of baking soda and vinegar to help break down the blockage. 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.

If none of the above methods work, it's time to call a professional plumber. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, our experienced plumbers are available 24/7 to help you unblock your toilet and resolve any plumbing issues you may have.

To prevent future blockages, make sure to:

• Use toilet paper sparingly
• Avoid flushing non-biodegradable items, such as sanitary products or wet wipes
• Regularly clean your toilet and drain pipes
• Consider installing a toilet with a dual-flush system
