Common Causes of Blocked Toilets and How to Prevent Them
Blocked toilets are not only inconvenient but can also lead to unpleasant odours and costly plumbing issues. Understanding the most common causes can help you avoid unnecessary stress and keep your bathroom flowing smoothly.
Flushing Non-Flushable Items
Wipes, sanitary products, cotton buds, and nappies don't break down like toilet paper and can quickly clog your pipes. Always dispose of these in a bin instead.
Using Too Much Toilet Paper
Excess toilet paper can build up in the pipes, leading to blockages over time. Use only what's necessary and flush in stages if needed.
Foreign Objects
Children's toys, air fresheners, or dropped items can easily get stuck in the toilet trap. Keep the toilet lid closed when not in use to prevent accidents from occurring.
Low-Flow Toilets with Weak Flush
Older or low-efficiency toilets might not have the pressure needed to clear waste effectively. Consider upgrading to a modern dual-flush toilet for better performance.
Hard Water Build-Up
Limescale and mineral deposits from hard water can reduce the pipe's diameter, making blockages more likely to occur. Descale your toilet regularly, especially in London, where hard water is common.
Faulty Plumbing or Poor Pipe Installation
Incorrect pipe gradients or DIY plumbing can cause waste to collect and block the system. Always hire a qualified plumber for toilet installation or repairs.
What Our Customers Say About Our Toilet Plumbing Services
Frequently Asked Questions
Below are some of the frequently asked questions we get regarding clearing blocked toilets in London. If you require further information regarding our toilet unblocking service, then please do not hesitate to get in touch.
What types of toilet blockages can you clear?
Our trained, professional drainage engineers can clear all types of blockages including blocked toilets, pipes, waste pipes, and cistern blockages.
What do plumbers use to unclog toilets?
Plumbers carry a few useful tools. They often rely on a heavy-duty plunger or a toilet auger, also known as a drain snake. They even use high-pressure water jets to clear particularly problematic clogs.If necessary, they can use CCTV drain cameras to monitor the issue deeper down the pipes.
Why won't my toilet unclog with a plunger?
The blockage may be too deep in the pipe for the plunger to reach, or it could be something solid and difficult to remove, such as a toy. Another common issue? Using the wrong kind of plunger – a proper toilet plunger with a flange (that’s the rubber bit that sticks out at the bottom) makes a big difference. If nothing seems to work, it’s probably time to call in a pro.
How do plumbers get toilet unclogged?
To unclog toilets, plumbers use plungers, plumbing snakes (also known as toilet augers), and, in some cases, more advanced methods like hydro-jetting. A plunger is the most basic method they use, and if that does not work, they move on to other tools.
How much does it cost for a plumber to unblock a toilet?
The cost for a plumber to unblock a toilet in the UK typically ranges from £80 to £150 for a straightforward job. If the blockage is severe or requires specialised equipment, the price can rise to £150 to £250 or more. Emergency call-outs, especially outside normal working hours, may also increase the overall cost.
