Blocked Toilet

A blocked toilet can be a huge inconvenience, and sometimes it requires professional attention to get things back to normal. There are a few things that can cause a toilet to become blocked, such as flushing too much toilet paper, items that have been flushed that are too large for the drain, foreign objects stuck in the pipes, and tree roots that have grown around the pipes. If your toilet is blocked and you don’t know what to do, call a professional plumber as soon as you can. They will be able to diagnose the problem and determine the best course of action to get your toilet flowing again. When the plumber arrives, be sure to provide them with any information about when you first noticed the problem and any recent plumbing work that has been done at your home. A clogged toilet is an inconvenience that no one wants to deal with. There can be many causes of a clogged toilet, such as pieces of tissue paper, foreign objects, improper or excessive amounts of toilet paper, build-up over time, and an accumulation of grease or soap from cleaning products. Though you might have an idea of what has caused the problem, it is important to have a professional take a look to confirm the issue and provide a remedy.

Blocked Drain

When a drain is blocked, it simply means something in the pipeline is preventing water from flowing. The drain blockage can be caused by any number of factors. It is important to understand what causes blocked drains as neglected drains can quickly escalate into a major issue. Often the blocked drain is caused by a hidden danger, with tree roots being one of the most common culprits. But due to pipes being buried underground, the only time you notice the problem is when water doesn’t flow or your toilet is backed up. Other causes may include grease or soap build-up, toilet paper, wet wipes or baby wipes, hair or fur, tree roots, garden waste, leaves or dirt, collapsed or damaged pipes, and lastly, foreign objects such as toys or jewellery. Ignoring the problem can lead to further damage in the long run as it allows standing water to remain stagnant in the pipes, also leading to nasty smells and the growth of bacteria or mould. If a blocked drain is causing you issues, it is recommended to seek help from a professional plumber to identify the cause and get the problem fixed. A plumber is equipped with the necessary tools and expertise to assess the issue at hand and get the problem promptly fixed. Depending on the severity of the issue, a plumber may also recommend camera inspections or using a high-pressure water jet to clear the debris.
