Blocked Drains Lincoln

A blocked toilet can be a frustrating and unpleasant experience, especially when it happens unexpectedly. If you're a resident of Lincolnshire, you're in luck because WPS Plumbing & Drainage, a trusted and reliable drainage service provider, is here to help. In this article, we'll walk you through the steps to unclog a blocked toilet and provide you with some valuable tips to prevent future blockages.

Before we dive into the solution, it's essential to understand what causes a toilet to become blocked. The most common reasons include:

• Excessive toilet paper usage
• Flushing non-biodegradable items, such as sanitary products or wipes
• Hair and soap scum buildup
• Mineral deposits in the water

If you're facing a blocked toilet in Lincolnshire, follow these steps to try and resolve the issue:

1. Turn off the water supply: Locate the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turn it clockwise to prevent further water from flowing into the toilet bowl.
2. Use a plunger: A plunger is a simple and effective tool to unclog a blocked toilet. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the clogged drain, then push down and pull up quickly to create suction. Repeat this process several times until the blockage is cleared.
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 the blockage. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
4. Use baking soda and vinegar: Pour 1 cup of baking soda into the toilet bowl, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight, then flush the toilet to see if the blockage has been cleared.
5. Call a professional: If none of the above steps work, it's time to call a professional drainage service provider like WPS Plumbing & Drainage. Our team of experts will use specialized equipment, such as CCTV drain surveys and high-pressure water jetting, to diagnose and clear the blockage.

To avoid the hassle of a blocked toilet in the future, follow these tips:

• Be mindful of what you flush down the toilet
• Use a toilet brush to clean the bowl regularly
• Check the water level in the tank to ensure it's not too high
• Consider installing a toilet with a low-flow flush
