Are you experiencing a blocked toilet in your North Yorkshire property? Don't worry, it's a common problem that can be resolved quickly and efficiently. At Blocked Drains Harrogate, we have years of experience in unblocking toilets and drains across the region, including Harrogate, Killinghall, Scotton, Knaresborough, Calcutt, Follifoot, Beckwithshaw, and Tadcaster.

A blocked toilet can be caused by a variety of factors, including excessive toilet paper, sanitary products, and other debris that can clog the drain. In some cases, the blockage may be further down the sewer line, requiring specialized equipment to clear.

The first step in clearing a blocked toilet is to turn off the water supply to the toilet. This is usually done by locating the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turning it clockwise. This will prevent any further 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 and pull up quickly to create suction. Repeat this process several times to try and loosen the blockage.

If the plunger doesn't work, you may need to use a drain snake (also known as an auger) to try and clear the blockage. Feed the snake into the drain hole and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This can help to break up any blockages and allow water to flow freely.

If the blockage is further down the sewer line, you may need to use high-pressure water jetting to clear it. This involves using a specialized machine to blast water through the pipe and dislodge the blockage.

If you're not comfortable using a plunger or drain snake, or if the blockage persists after trying these methods, it's time to call a professional. At Blocked Drains Harrogate, we have the expertise and equipment to quickly and efficiently clear any blockage, no matter how severe.
