Clearing a Partially Blocked Toilet in North Yorkshire: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you experiencing a partially blocked toilet in your home in North Yorkshire? Don't worry, we're here to help. At Blocked Drains Harrogate, we've seen our fair share of clogged toilets, and we're happy to provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to clear a partially blocked toilet.

Before You Start

Before attempting to clear your partially blocked toilet, make sure you have a pair of rubber gloves, a plunger, and a bucket of hot water. If you're not comfortable with DIY unblocking, it's always best to call a professional drainage service like us.

Step 1: Turn Off the Water Supply

If your toilet is overflowing, 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.

Step 2: Use a Plunger

Put on your rubber gloves and grab your plunger. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the drain hole at the bottom of the toilet bowl. Plunge the toilet several times to create suction and loosen the blockage. If the water level in the toilet bowl drops, you're on the right track.

Step 3: Use Hot Water and Chemicals

If plunging doesn't work, try pouring a bucket of hot water into the toilet bowl to help loosen the blockage. You can also use a chemical drain cleaner like Domestos to help break down the blockage. However, be careful when using chemicals, as they can damage your toilet or pipes.

Step 4: Call a Professional

If the above steps don't work, it's time to call a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains Harrogate. We have the expertise and equipment to safely and effectively unblock your toilet. Our team of experienced drain specialists will use specialized tools, such as drain snakes and high-pressure water jetting, to clear the blockage and get your toilet flowing freely again.

Preventing Future Blockages

To prevent future blockages, make sure to:

  • Be mindful of what you flush down the toilet
  • Avoid flushing sanitary products, wipes, and other non-biodegradable items
  • Regularly clean your toilet and drain pipes
  • Consider installing a drain guard to catch hair and other debris
