Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you experiencing a blocked toilet in your North Yorkshire property? Don't panic, as Future Drainage and Groundworks, a trusted drainage company in Harrogate, is here to help. In this article, we'll provide a comprehensive guide on how to clear a blocked toilet, and what to do if the problem persists.

A blocked toilet can be a frustrating and unpleasant experience, especially if it's not addressed promptly. The blockage can occur due to various reasons, such as flushing non-biodegradable items, excessive toilet paper, or even tree roots invading the sewer system. If left unattended, the blockage can cause further damage to your drainage system, leading to costly repairs.

Before calling a professional drainage company like us, you can try the following steps to clear the blockage:

1. Turn off the water supply: Locate the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turn it clockwise to prevent further water from flowing into the toilet bowl.
2. Use a plunger: A plunger is an effective tool for clearing blockages. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the clogged drain, then push down and pull up quickly to create suction.
3. Use a drain snake: A drain snake, also known as an auger, is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain to break up the blockage.
4. Use baking soda and vinegar: Pour 1 cup of baking soda into the toilet bowl, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours, then flush the toilet to see if the blockage has been cleared.

If the above steps don't work, it's time to call a professional drainage company like Future Drainage and Groundworks. Our team of experienced drain specialists will use advanced equipment, such as high-pressure water jetting and CCTV surveys, to identify and clear the blockage.

To avoid blocked toilets in the future, make sure to:

• Only flush biodegradable items, such as toilet paper and human waste.
• Avoid flushing excessive amounts of toilet paper.
• Regularly inspect your drainage system for signs of wear and tear.
• Consider installing a drain maintenance program to prevent blockages.
