Blocked drains can create significant issues in both residential and commercial properties. There can be innumerable reasons for a clogged toilet, so first, we try to find out the problem.
Experience has taught us that if your home water supply has more minerals, it might lead to clogging issues. This is known as hard water, which contains enough minerals to calcify, turning into a thick white substance that’s difficult to remove. We have also found foreign objects like toilet paper, tissues, baby wipes, and razors blocking the toilet, preventing the toilet from flushing.
Blocked sinks and blocked toilets are common problems, especially when too much toilet paper is used. The pipeline is naturally clogged when things keep piling up, and the water rises back up instead of flowing down.
In some cases, the problem is more serious, involving corroded pipes that need replacing. Despite regular maintenance, all pipes wear down after a few decades, so our plumbing team carries relining materials just in case. We’ll determine the extent of the damage before choosing an appropriate pipe material based on your surroundings.
Toilet Unblocking
Most people use a plunger to deal with a blocked toilet drain, but our methods are more sophisticated. We train our professional blocked drain plumbers to use state-of-the-art gadgets, helping us quickly locate the problem. One of our popular methods involves sending drain cameras inside the pipe to find the substances responsible for the blockage. This technique, known as drain camera inspections, is highly effective for clearing blocked drains.
Depending on the extent of the clog, running boiling water down the pipe could help clear it. But if it doesn’t, we remove some water from the toilet bowl and pour a special baking soda and vinegar mixture down the pipe. For more stubborn blockages, we might use a drain auger or a plumbing snake. If the toilet is blocked due to more serious issues, we also offer comprehensive drain repairs and pipe relining services.
