Are you experiencing a blocked toilet in your Lincolnshire home or business? Don't worry, we've got you covered. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we've been providing expert drainage services to the county for years, and we're here to guide you through the process of unblocking a toilet with drain rods.

A blocked toilet can be a frustrating and unpleasant problem, especially if you're not sure how to fix it. The first step is to identify the cause of the blockage. In most cases, it's due to a buildup of waste or debris in the drain. If you've tried using a plunger and it hasn't worked, it's time to bring in the drain rods.

To unblock a toilet with drain rods, you'll need:

• A set of drain rods (available at most hardware stores or home improvement centers)
• A pair of gloves
• A bucket or container to catch any water that may spill out

1. Turn off the water supply: Before you start, make sure to turn off the water supply to the toilet. This will prevent any more water from flowing into the toilet bowl and making the problem worse.
2. Remove any visible blockages: Use a pair of gloves to remove any visible blockages or debris 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: Once you feel resistance, it's likely that you've reached the blockage. Use the drain rod to break up the blockage, working slowly and carefully to avoid pushing it further into the pipe.
5. Remove the blockage: Once you've broken up the blockage, use the drain rod to remove it from the pipe.
6. Flush the toilet: Once you've removed the blockage, flush the toilet to test the drain.

• Use caution when working with drain rods: Drain rods can be sharp and may cause injury if not handled carefully.
• Wear gloves: Gloves will protect your hands from any bacteria or debris that may be present in the toilet bowl.
• Be gentle: Avoid using too much force when working with drain rods, as this can cause damage to the pipes.
• Clean up thoroughly: After unblocking the toilet, make sure to clean up thoroughly to prevent the spread of bacteria.
