Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you experiencing a blocked toilet bowl in your North Yorkshire home? Don't worry, it's a common problem that can be fixed with the right techniques and tools. In this article, we'll guide you through the steps to fix a blocked toilet bowl, and when to call a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains Harrogate.

A blocked toilet bowl can be caused by a variety of factors, including excessive toilet paper, sanitary products, or other items that shouldn't be flushed down the toilet. When the toilet bowl is blocked, water may overflow, causing a mess and potentially damaging your bathroom.

Before attempting to fix the blocked toilet bowl, make sure 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.

The first step in fixing a blocked toilet bowl is to use a plunger. A plunger creates suction that can help dislodge the blockage. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the toilet drain, then push down and pull up quickly to create suction. Repeat this process several times until the blockage is cleared.

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

If the blockage is caused by a buildup of grease or other debris, you can try using baking soda and vinegar to dissolve 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, then flush the toilet to see if the blockage has been cleared.

If none of the above steps work, it's time to call a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains Harrogate.
