If you're facing the unpleasant issue of a toilet blocked with poo in East Lothian, don't panic. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we've worked with numerous clients in the area to resolve similar problems. Our team of experienced engineers is equipped with the necessary tools and expertise to unblock your toilet quickly and efficiently.

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 may also want to lay down a mop or old towels to catch any spills or mess.

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.

Next, use a plunger to try and dislodge the blockage. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the 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 to try and loosen the blockage.

If the plunger doesn't work, you can try using a drain snake (also known as an auger). This is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain hole to break up the blockage. Feed the snake into the drain hole and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.

If the above methods don't work, you can try using a combination of baking soda and vinegar to 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. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we have the necessary equipment and expertise to unblock even the most stubborn blockages. Our team will arrive at your location in East Lothian with a range of tools, including high-pressure water jetting equipment, to quickly and efficiently resolve the issue.

We'd like to thank our team of engineers for their hard work and dedication to resolving blocked toilet issues in East Lothian. Our team is available 24/7 to respond to emergency calls, so you can rest assured that help is always just a phone call away.

To prevent future blockages, make sure to dispose of sanitary products and wipes in a bag or bin, rather than flushing them down the toilet. Also, be mindful of the amount of toilet paper you use, as excessive amounts can cause blockages.
