Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you experiencing a blocked toilet in Lincolnshire? Don't panic, WPS Plumbing & Drainage is here to help. A blocked toilet can be a frustrating and unpleasant issue, but with the right guidance, you can resolve the problem quickly and efficiently.

The first step in resolving a blocked toilet is to identify the source of the blockage. Check if the toilet is overflowing or if the water level is higher than usual. If the water level is normal, but the toilet is not flushing properly, the blockage may be further down the drain.

When a toilet is blocked, it's essential to avoid flushing it again, as this can cause more water to overflow and make the situation worse. Instead, turn off the water supply to the toilet by locating the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turning it clockwise.

A plunger is a simple and effective tool for resolving blocked toilets. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the drain hole, then push down slowly and steadily until you feel resistance. 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 remove the blockage. Feed the snake into the drain hole and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This can help break up any blockages and restore flow to the drain.

If you're not comfortable using a plunger or drain snake, or if the blockage persists after trying these methods, it's time to call a professional drainage company like WPS Plumbing & Drainage.
