Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you dealing with a clogged toilet in your North Yorkshire home, caused by a kitchen roll blockage? Don't worry, we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains Harrogate, we understand the frustration and urgency that comes with a blocked toilet. In this article, we'll guide you through a step-by-step process to help you unblock your toilet and get your plumbing system flowing smoothly again.

Toilets can become blocked when items like kitchen roll, sanitary products, or excessive toilet paper accumulate in the drain. In this case, the kitchen roll has likely formed a solid blockage, preventing water from flowing freely through the toilet. To resolve the issue, you'll need to remove the blockage and restore the flow of water.

Before attempting to unblock your toilet, 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 and making the situation worse.

To unblock your toilet, you'll need the following items:

• A plunger
• A drain snake (or a wire hanger)
• Gloves
• A bucket or container to catch any spills

Put on your gloves and ensure the toilet bowl is filled with enough water to cover the plunger. Place the plunger over the clogged drain hole and push down slowly and steadily until you feel resistance. Hold the plunger in place for a few seconds, then lift up. Repeat this process several times to create suction and loosen the blockage.

If plunging doesn't work, you may need to use a drain snake or a wire hanger to remove the blockage. Feed the snake or hanger into the drain hole and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This should help break up the kitchen roll blockage and allow water to flow freely.

Once you've removed the blockage, check the drain by flushing the toilet several times to ensure the water flows freely. If the toilet is still blocked, you may need to repeat the process or seek help from a professional drainage company like Blocked Drains Harrogate.
