Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you experiencing a blocked toilet in your North Yorkshire property? Don't panic, we're here to guide you through the process of resolving the issue. A blocked toilet can be a frustrating and unpleasant problem, but with the right approach, you can get your toilet functioning properly again.

Before attempting to fix the issue, it's essential to determine the cause of the blockage. Check if the blockage is confined to the toilet or if it's affecting other drains in your property. If the problem persists in multiple drains, it may indicate a more significant issue with your sewer system.

In North Yorkshire, properties are connected to a network of drains and sewers that carry wastewater away from homes and businesses. If your toilet is blocked, it may be due to a blockage in the pipes leading from your toilet to the sewer system. In some cases, the issue may be more severe, requiring the attention of a professional drainage company.

If you're experiencing a blocked toilet, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the water supply: Locate the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turn it clockwise to prevent further water from flowing into the toilet bowl.
2. Use a plunger: A plunger can be an effective tool for clearing blockages in the toilet drain. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the drain hole, then push down and pull up quickly to create suction.
3. Use a drain snake: If the plunger doesn't work, try using a drain snake (also known as an auger) to remove any blockages in the pipes.
4. Call a professional: If the above steps don't resolve the issue, it's time to call a professional drainage company, such as Future Drainage and Groundworks, to assist with clearing the blockage.
