Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you experiencing a blocked toilet pan in your Lincolnshire home or business? Don't panic, as this is a common issue that can be resolved with the right techniques and tools. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we understand the importance of a functioning toilet, and our expert drainage team is here to guide you through the process of clearing a blocked toilet pan.

If you're dealing with a blocked toilet pan, it's essential to act quickly to avoid any further damage or mess. Before attempting to clear the blockage, make sure to turn off the water supply to the toilet by locating the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turning it clockwise. This will prevent any more water from flowing into the toilet bowl.

A plunger is a simple and effective tool for clearing a blocked toilet pan. To use a plunger, follow these steps:

1. Put on a pair of rubber gloves to protect your hands from any bacteria or mess.
2. Pour a small amount of water into the toilet bowl to create a seal around 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 doesn't work, you may need to use a drain snake (also known as an auger) to clear the blockage. A drain snake is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the toilet drain to break up any blockages.

1. Feed the drain snake into the toilet drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
2. Continue to rotate the snake until you feel resistance, then pull it back out.
3. Repeat this process several times until the blockage is cleared.

If you've tried the above methods and the blockage persists, it may be time to call a professional drainage expert. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, our team has the training and equipment to clear even the most stubborn blockages. We use advanced techniques, such as CCTV drain surveys and high-pressure water jetting, to quickly and effectively clear blocked toilet pans.
