Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you experiencing a toilet blockage in your North Yorkshire property, particularly in Harrogate and surrounding areas? Don't panic, as Future Drainage and Groundworks, a trusted drainage company in Harrogate, is here to provide you with expert advice on how to unblock a toilet blocked with poo.

A toilet blockage can be a frustrating and unpleasant issue, especially when it involves a large amount of waste. The problem often occurs when a large amount of toilet paper, poo, or other debris accumulates in the toilet bowl, causing a blockage in the drain pipe. This can lead to an overflow of water, creating a mess and potentially causing damage to your property.

Before attempting to unblock the toilet, pour a bucket of hot water into the toilet bowl to help loosen the blockage. The hot water can help break down the waste, making it easier to remove.

The plunger is a simple and effective tool for unblocking toilets. To use a plunger, follow these steps:

1. Put on a pair of rubber gloves to protect your hands from bacteria and germs.
2. Ensure the water level in the toilet bowl is sufficient to cover the plunger.
3. Place the plunger over the clogged drain hole and push down slowly and steadily until you feel resistance.
4. Hold the plunger in place for a few seconds, then lift up. Repeat this process several times until the blockage is cleared.

If the plunger method doesn't work, you can try using baking soda and vinegar to create a chemical reaction that can help break down 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 or overnight, then pour hot water into the toilet bowl to rinse.

If the above methods don't work, it may be necessary to use a drain jetting machine to apply high pressure to clear the blockage. This method is particularly effective for removing stubborn blockages and debris from the drain pipe.

To prevent future toilet blockages, it's essential to be mindful of what you flush down the toilet. Avoid flushing large amounts of toilet paper, sanitary products, or other debris that can cause blockages. Regularly cleaning your toilet and drain pipes can also help prevent blockages from forming.
