Blocked Drains Lincoln

As a homeowner in Lincolnshire, you may have encountered a situation where your toilet has become blocked, and you're left wondering what could have caused it. One common culprit that may surprise you is kitchen roll. Yes, you read that right - kitchen roll can indeed block your toilet.

Kitchen roll, also known as paper towels, is a staple in many households. We use it to clean up spills, wipe down surfaces, and even as a makeshift cloth for cleaning. However, when it comes to flushing it down the toilet, it's essential to exercise caution. Kitchen roll is not designed to be flushed, and it can cause significant blockages in your toilet and sewer system.

When you flush kitchen roll down the toilet, it can accumulate in the pipes and cause a blockage. This is because kitchen roll is made from a combination of paper and cotton, which can expand when it comes into contact with water. As the kitchen roll accumulates, it can create a massive blockage that can be difficult to clear.

It's not just kitchen roll that can block your toilet. Other common items that can cause blockages include:

• Toys and baby items that have been flushed down the toilet
• Wet wipes and other cleaning products
• Cotton balls and Q-tips
• Sanitary products
• Large amounts of toilet paper

To avoid blockages, it's essential to be mindful of what you flush down the toilet. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

• Only flush toilet paper, human waste, and small amounts of water down the toilet
• Avoid flushing kitchen roll, wet wipes, and other cleaning products
• Keep toys and baby items out of reach of the toilet
• Consider using a toilet strainer to catch any items that may accidentally be flushed
