Are you dealing with a blocked toilet in Lincolnshire? Don't worry, we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we understand the frustration and urgency that comes with a clogged toilet. In this article, we'll walk you through the process of rodding a blocked toilet, and when to call in the professionals.

Before we dive into the process, it's essential to understand why rodding a blocked toilet is necessary. When your toilet is blocked, it can cause a significant amount of water to overflow, leading to a messy and potentially hazardous situation. Rodding the drain helps to remove any blockages, allowing water to flow freely and preventing further damage.

To rod a blocked toilet, you'll need a few basic tools:

• A drain rod (available at most hardware stores)
• A pair of gloves
• A bucket or container to catch any water
  Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Turn off the water supply: Locate the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turn it clockwise to shut off the water supply.
2. Remove any excess water: Use a bucket or container to scoop out any excess water from the toilet bowl.
3. Insert the drain rod: Feed the drain rod into the toilet drain, rotating it as you push it further into the pipe.
4. Break up the blockage: Continue to rotate the rod, applying gentle pressure, until you feel resistance. This indicates that you've reached the blockage.
5. Remove the blockage: Once you've broken up the blockage, remove the rod and flush the toilet to test the drain.
