At Blocked Drains York, we understand the frustration and urgency that comes with a clogged toilet, which is why we're sharing our expertise to help you resolve the issue quickly.

Before we dive into the unblocking process, it's essential to understand what causes a toilet to become blocked. Common culprits include:

• Excessive toilet paper usage
• Flushing non-biodegradable items
• Hair and soap scum buildup
• Mineral deposits in the water

The first step in unblocking a toilet is to turn off the water supply to prevent further flooding. Locate the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turn it clockwise to shut off the water supply.

A plunger is the most effective tool for unblocking a toilet. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the clogged drain, then push down and pull up quickly to create suction. Repeat this process several times to dislodge the blockage.

If the plunger doesn't work, it's time to use a drain snake (auger). Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This will help break up any stubborn blockages.

For a more eco-friendly approach, try using baking soda and vinegar to dissolve the blockage. Pour 1 cup of baking soda into the toilet bowl, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight, then flush the toilet to see if the blockage has been cleared.

If none of the above steps work, it's time to call a professional drainage expert like Blocked Drains York. Our team is available 24/7 to provide emergency unblocking services, and we'll work quickly to resolve the issue and get your toilet functioning properly again.

• Consider installing a drain guard to catch hair and other debris
