Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you experiencing a blocked toilet in East Lothian, particularly in areas such as Musselburgh, due to excessive tissue use? Don't panic, as UK Response 24/7 LTD, trading as Blocked Drains Edinburgh, is here to provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to unblock your toilet.

Before attempting to unblock your toilet, make sure to put on a pair of rubber gloves to protect your hands from coming into contact with bacteria and other contaminants. You may also want to lay down a mop or old towels around the toilet to catch any spills or water that may overflow.

The first step is to turn off the water supply to the toilet by locating the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turning it clockwise. This will prevent more 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 drain snake (auger) to break up the blockage. Feed the snake into the drain hole and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This should help to break up the tissue and clear the blockage.

If the above methods don't work, you can try using baking soda and vinegar to create a chemical reaction that can help to break down the tissue. 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 you've tried all of the above methods and the toilet is still blocked, it may be worth trying to use a high-pressure water jet to clear the blockage. However, this should only be done by a professional, as it can cause damage to the pipes if not done correctly.
• To prevent blockages in the future, make sure to dispose of tissue and other paper products in a bin rather than flushing them down the toilet.
• If you're experiencing frequent blockages, it may be worth considering installing a toilet with a more powerful flush or a macerator toilet that can handle tissue and other paper products.
