Blocked Drains Harrogate

Are you experiencing a blocked toilet in your North Yorkshire property? Don't panic, as we've got some helpful tips on what to put down a blocked toilet to help you resolve the issue. However, if the problem persists, it's always best to call a professional drainage service like Blocked Drains Harrogate.

Before we dive into what to put down a blocked toilet, it's essential to understand the blockage. Common causes of a blocked toilet include excessive toilet paper, sanitary products, and other non-biodegradable items. If you're unsure what's causing the blockage, it's best to avoid putting anything down the toilet that could exacerbate the problem.

If you're looking to unblock your toilet, there are a few things you can try:

1. Plunger: A plunger is a simple and effective tool for unblocking toilets. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the blocked drain, then push down and pull up to create suction.
2. Baking Soda and Vinegar: Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the toilet, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight, then flush the toilet to see if the blockage has been cleared.
3. Hot Water: Pouring hot water down the toilet can help dissolve any blockages. Be careful not to overflow the toilet bowl.

While it may be tempting to try and clear the blockage with harsh chemicals or other substances, there are some things you should avoid putting down a blocked toilet:

1. Chemical Drain Cleaners: These can damage your pipes and cause more harm than good.
2. Boiling Water: Boiling water can crack your toilet bowl or pipes.
3. Sharp Objects: Avoid putting sharp objects down the toilet, as they can cause damage to your pipes or sewer system.

To prevent future blockages, make sure to:

1. Use the Toilet Correctly: Only put toilet paper and human waste down the toilet.
2. Don't Flush Non-Biodegradable Items: Avoid flushing sanitary products, wipes, and other non-biodegradable items.
3. Regularly Clean Your Drains: Use a drain cleaner or plumber's snake to regularly clean your drains and prevent blockages.
