Blocked Drains York

Are you tired of dealing with a slow draining toilet in your York home? A clogged toilet can be frustrating and unpleasant, but fortunately, there are steps you can take to unblock it. At Blocked Drains York, we've helped numerous homeowners in York and surrounding areas resolve their drainage issues, including slow draining toilets.

Before we dive into the unblocking process, it's essential to understand what might be causing the issue. A slow draining toilet can be due to a blockage in the toilet drain or further down the drainage system. Hair, soap, and other debris can accumulate in the pipes, restricting water flow and causing the toilet to drain slowly.

To prevent further water from flowing into the toilet bowl, turn off the water supply by locating the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turning it clockwise. This will stop the water from flowing into the toilet, allowing you to work on unblocking it.

A plunger is a simple and effective tool for unblocking a slow draining 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, you may need to apply more pressure to dislodge the blockage. You can use a drain snake or an auger to insert into the drain and break up any stubborn blockages.

Pouring hot water down the drain can help dissolve any grease or debris that may be causing the blockage. Be careful not to use boiling water, as it can damage the toilet or pipes.
