Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you facing a plumbing emergency in East Lothian, Scotland, with a blocked toilet drain and no plunger in sight? Don't worry, we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we understand the stress and urgency of dealing with a clogged toilet. Our professional team is here to provide you with a simple, DIY solution to unblock your toilet drain without a plunger.

This method is a great alternative to using a plunger and can be effective in clearing minor blockages.

1. Pour 1 cup of baking soda into the toilet bowl.
2. Follow with 1 cup of hot water. The mixture will start to fizz and foam.
3. Let the mixture sit in the toilet bowl for a few hours or overnight. This will allow the baking soda to break down the blockage.
4. After the sitting time has passed, pour another cup of hot water into the toilet bowl to rinse the drain.
5. If the blockage is cleared, you should see the water drain freely. If not, you may need to repeat the process.

If the baking soda method doesn't work, you can try using a drain snake or auger to remove the blockage.

1. Feed the drain snake or auger into the toilet drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
2. Continue to rotate and push the snake or auger until you feel resistance, which indicates that you've reached the blockage.
3. Hold the snake or auger in place and twist it to break up the blockage.
4. Once the blockage is cleared, remove the snake or auger and flush the toilet to test the drain.

If you're not comfortable using these methods or if the blockage persists after trying them, it's time to call a professional plumber.
