Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you experiencing a blocked toilet in your home or office in North Yorkshire? If the blockage is caused by an excessive amount of paper, there's no need to panic. In this article, we'll guide you through the steps to unblock your toilet and get your bathroom back to normal.

If your toilet is overflowing or about to overflow, turn off the water supply immediately. Locate the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turn it clockwise to stop the water flow.

A plunger is a simple and effective tool to unblock a toilet. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the clogged drain hole, then push down slowly and steadily until you feel resistance. Hold for a few seconds, then lift up. Repeat this process several times until the blockage is cleared.

If the plunger doesn't work, try using baking soda and vinegar to dissolve the paper 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 or overnight, allowing the mixture to break down the paper. Then, use the plunger again to try and clear the blockage.

If the blockage is still present, try pouring hot water into the toilet bowl to help dissolve the paper. Be careful not to overflow the toilet. Let the hot water sit for a few minutes before using the plunger again.
