Toilet paper is one of the most common causes of blocked toilets in the UK. When too much toilet paper is flushed down the toilet, it can accumulate in the drain pipes and cause a blockage. This can lead to a range of problems, including overflowing toilets, unpleasant odors, and even water damage.

If your toilet is blocked with toilet paper, you may notice the following signs:

• The water level in the bowl is higher than usual
• The toilet is slow to drain or won't drain at all
• You hear gurgling or bubbling sounds coming from the toilet
• The toilet is overflowing or has overflowed

If you're experiencing a blocked toilet in York, don't panic. Here are some steps you can take to try and unblock it:

1. Turn off the water supply: If your toilet is overflowing, turn off the water supply to the toilet by locating the shut-off valve behind the toilet and turning it clockwise.
2. Use a plunger: A plunger is a simple and effective tool for unblocking toilets. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the drain hole, then push down and pull up quickly to create suction. Repeat this process several times until the blockage is cleared.
3. Use baking soda and vinegar: Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse.
4. Use a drain snake: A drain snake is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the drain to break up blockages. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
5. Call a professional: If none of the above methods work, it may be time to call a professional drain unblocking service like Blocked Drains York. We have the equipment and expertise to quickly and safely unblock your toilet.

To prevent toilet paper blockages in the future, make sure to:

• Use the correct amount of toilet paper
• Avoid flushing other items down the toilet, such as sanitary products or wet wipes
• Regularly clean your toilet and drain pipes
• Consider installing a toilet with a low-flow flush
