Spotting a Blockage

Blocked toilets cause all kinds of stress. But how do you know when the situation warrants professional intervention, and not just a plunger and some elbow grease? Look out for these persistent signs:

  • Water Draining Slowly: If the water hangs around after you flush, it’s usually a sign of trouble.
  • Weird Noises: Gurgling sounds coming from the toilet or nearby pipes can mean air is trapped due to a blockage.
  • Overflowing Bowl: If the water rises too high when you flush, there’s likely a blockage somewhere.
  • Bad Smells: Nasty odours wafting up from the toilet? That’s often a sign of clogged toilets.

If any of these sound familiar, don’t wait for the situation to get worse! Call us straight away for our expert toilet unblocking services, available in Bristol, Bath and all areas within a 30-mile radius.

Tips to Avoid Blocked Toilets

  • Flush the Right Stuff: Stick to toilet paper. Wipes, sanitary products and nappies belong in the bin.
  • Bin It to Win It: Keep a bin near the toilet for anything that isn’t flushable.
  • Spread the Word: If you run a business, make sure staff and visitors know what not to flush.
  • Regular Check-Ups: Get your plumbing inspected regularly to catch issues early.
