In this article, we'll walk you through the steps to try and flush a blocked toilet, and when to call in the professionals.

Before we dive into the solution, it's essential to understand what causes a blocked toilet. A blockage in the toilet drain can occur due to a variety of reasons, including:

• Excessive toilet paper usage
• Flushing non-biodegradable items, such as sanitary products or wipes
• Build-up of grease and debris in the sewer pipes
• Tree roots invading the sewer system

If your toilet is overflowing or about to overflow, quickly locate the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turn it clockwise to shut off the water supply. This will prevent further water from flowing into the toilet bowl.

Put on your rubber gloves and grab a plunger. Ensure the plunger is properly seated over the clogged drain hole, then push down slowly and steadily until you feel resistance. Hold for a few seconds, then lift up. Repeat this process several times to create suction and loosen the blockage.

If the plunger doesn't work, you can try using a drain snake (also known as an auger). Feed the snake into the drain hole and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This can help break up any stubborn blockages.

If the above steps don't work, it's time to call in the professionals. At Blocked Drains York, our team of experts is available 24/7 to provide emergency drainage services.
