Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you dealing with a clogged toilet in East Lothian, caused by an excessive amount of paper? Don't worry, we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, our team of experienced plumbers has worked on numerous toilet unblocking cases, and we're here to guide you through the process.

Before attempting to unblock your toilet, it's essential to turn off the water supply to prevent further flooding. Locate the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turn it clockwise. If you're not sure where the valve is, you can always call a professional plumber like us at 0131 235 2427.

Put on your rubber gloves and grab a plunger. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the clogged drain hole, then push down slowly and steadily. Hold for a few seconds, then lift up quickly. Repeat this process several times until you feel resistance. If the plunger doesn't work, don't worry, we have other methods to try.

If the plunger doesn't work, try using a mop or a long-handled brush to break up the paper blockage. Insert the mop or brush into the toilet drain and gently push it through the clog. Be careful not to push too hard, as you don't want to damage the toilet or pipes.

If the above methods don't work, you may need to use a drain snake (also known as an auger) to remove the blockage. Feed the snake into the toilet drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This should help break up the paper and clear the blockage.

If none of the above methods work, it's time to call a professional plumber like us at Blocked Drains Edinburgh. We have the necessary tools and expertise to unblock your toilet quickly and efficiently. Our team is available 24/7, so don't hesitate to call us at 0131 235 2427.

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

• Use the toilet paper sparingly
• Avoid flushing too much paper at once
• Consider using a toilet with a high water pressure flush
• Regularly clean your toilet and drain pipes to prevent buildup
