Blocked Drains Lincoln

A blocked toilet can be a frustrating and unpleasant experience, especially if it's a badly blocked one. If you're facing this issue in Lincolnshire, don't worry, we've got you covered. In this article, we'll guide you through the steps to unblock a badly blocked toilet and provide you with information on what to do if you need professional help.

Before we dive into the unblocking process, it's essential to understand what might be causing the blockage. Common causes of a blocked toilet include:

• Excessive toilet paper or wipes
• Sanitary products or other non-biodegradable items
• Tree roots or debris in the drain or sewer
• Mineral buildup or limescale

If you're dealing with a badly blocked toilet, here are some steps you can take to try and unblock it:

1. Turn off the water supply: Locate the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turn it clockwise to shut off the water supply. This will prevent more water from flowing into the toilet bowl.
2. Use a plunger: A plunger is a simple and effective tool for unblocking toilets. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the clogged drain hole, then push down and pull up quickly to create suction.
3. Use a drain snake: If the plunger doesn't work, you can try using a drain snake (also known as an auger) to remove any blockages in the drain.
4. Use baking soda and vinegar: Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the toilet drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse.

If you've tried the above steps and the toilet is still blocked, it's time to call a professional plumber. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we have the expertise and equipment to unblock even the most stubborn toilet blockages.
