Are you dealing with a clogged toilet in East Lothian, caused by wipes? Don't panic, as Blocked Drains Edinburgh is here to guide you through the process of unblocking your toilet. Our team of experienced plumbers has worked with numerous clients in East Lothian, including Edinburgh, Blackford, Leith, Gogar, Dalkeith, and Musselburgh, to resolve similar issues.

Wipes, especially baby wipes or wet wipes, can cause significant blockages in toilets. When flushed, they don't break down like toilet paper and can accumulate in the pipes, leading to a stubborn blockage. If you've tried to flush wipes down your toilet and now it's blocked, don't worry, we're here to help.

1. Stop the Water Flow: If your toilet is overflowing, quickly turn off the water supply to prevent further damage. You can do this by locating the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turning it clockwise.
2. Use a Plunger: Put on your rubber gloves and grab a plunger. Create a tight seal around the toilet drain and push down slowly. Hold for a few seconds, then lift up. Repeat this process several times to try and dislodge the blockage.
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 toilet drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This can help break up the blockage.
4. Use Baking Soda and Vinegar: Mix equal parts of baking soda and vinegar in a bowl. Pour the mixture into the toilet bowl and let it sit for a few hours. The mixture can help break down the wipes and clear the blockage.
5. Call a Professional Plumber: If none of the above methods work, it's time to call a professional plumber. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, our team is equipped with the latest tools and technology to quickly and efficiently clear the blockage.

To avoid clogging your toilet with wipes in the future, make sure to:

• Only flush toilet paper and human waste down the toilet.
• Dispose of wipes in a designated bin or bag.
• Consider using a toilet with a built-in macerator or grinder to break down waste.
