Blocked toilet in Hucclecote? Here's what to do.
A blocked toilet is unpleasant but usually fixable yourself in 10 minutes. Know when it's a one-off blockage versus a wider drainage problem.
Try this first
Safe steps you can take in the next 10 minutes — in order.
- 1Use a toilet plunger (the funnel-cup one, not a sink plunger) — vigorous up-and-down for 30 seconds.
- 2If plunging fails, try a toilet auger (about £15) to break the blockage in the trap.
- 3Pour a bucket of warm water from waist height — sometimes enough to dislodge.
- 4Stop flushing — repeated flushing on a blocked toilet floods the floor.
When to stop and call
If multiple toilets in the house won't flush, or if water rises to the rim every flush. Either points to soil-stack or external blockage.
Likely causes
Most cases of a blocked toilet in Hucclecote homes come down to one of these.
- Excess paper or non-flushable items (wipes are the biggest culprit)
- Build-up in the trap under the pan
- Blockage in the soil stack outside
- Insufficient flush volume (failing dual-flush mechanism)
