Before we dive into the steps to unblock your toilet drain, it's essential to understand the cause of the blockage. Toilet drains can become blocked due to a variety of reasons, including:

• Build-up of debris, such as toilet paper and waste
• Tree roots infiltrating the pipes
• Poor drainage maintenance
• Incorrectly installed or damaged pipework

To unblock your toilet drain outside, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the water supply: Locate the stopcock and turn it clockwise to shut off the water supply to the toilet.
2. Use a drain snake: Feed the drain snake into the toilet drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This can help break up any blockages.
3. Use high-pressure water jetting: If the blockage is more severe, you may need to use high-pressure water jetting to clear the pipe. This method is more effective than using a drain snake but requires specialized equipment.
4. Check the pipework: Inspect the pipework for any signs of damage or blockages. If you find any issues, it's best to contact a professional plumber to carry out the necessary repairs.

If you live in a communal property, it's essential to check if the blockage is affecting multiple properties. In this case, it's best to contact your local authority or a professional drainage company to carry out the necessary repairs.

If your toilet drain is old or damaged, it may be time to consider installing a new one. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we can provide you with a quote for a new drain installation and carry out the work to the highest standards.

If you have iron or cast iron pipes, it's essential to take extra care when clearing blockages. These types of pipes can be prone to cracking and breaking, so it's best to contact a professional plumber to carry out the necessary repairs.

When clearing blockages, it's essential to ensure that the axis of the pipe is clear and that water can flow freely. If the axis is blocked, it can cause further issues down the line.
