Unblocking Of Toilets

A blocked toilet can quickly become an urgent plumbing issue. Apart from the inconvenience, a blocked toilet can create unpleasant odours and unhygienic conditions, making it important to resolve the problem promptly.

Toilet blockages commonly occur when things become lodged in the toilet trap or connected drainage pipes.

These can include:

  • Excessive toilet paper
  • Sanitary products
  • Wet wipes
  • Foreign objects
  • Other unsuitable materials

In some situations, the blockage may be further along the sewer line rather than directly inside the toilet.

Basin Blockages

Although basin blockages may initially appear minor, they can worsen over time as debris accumulates inside the waste outlet, plughole, trap, or connected pipes.

In kitchen sinks, grease, cooking oils, food scraps, and detergent residue can contribute to similar drainage problems.

Common causes of blocked bathroom basins are:

  • Hair
  • Soap residue
  • Toothpaste
  • Dirt
  • Cosmetic products
  • Other materials

You may notice that water takes longer than usual to drain, remains standing in the basin, or produces unpleasant smells from the plughole.

Outdoor Drainage Blockages

Underground drainage pipes may experience problems caused by tree roots, damaged pipe sections, displaced joints, or accumulated waste.

Outdoor drainage blockages can be caused by:

  • Leaves
  • Mud
  • Dirt
  • Litter
  • Grease
  • Foreign objects
  • Sanitary products

Where blockages return frequently, simply clearing the immediate obstruction may not be enough. Further assessment may be necessary to investigate possible pipe damage, poor drainage gradients, root intrusion, or other underlying causes.

Our approach

We are centred on practical problem-solving, careful workmanship, and restoring the normal operation of your drainage system wherever possible.
