Blocked Toilet Melbourne

Blocked Toilet Melbourne? Dealing with a blocked toilet can be incredibly frustrating, especially if it’s the only toilet in your home. If flushing causes the water to rise or if your toilet is already fully clogged, the situation needs immediate attention.

A blocked toilet is not only inconvenient, but it can also pose serious risks like bathroom flooding if the issue isn’t addressed quickly. When the water refuses to drain properly, continuing to use the toilet can make the blockage worse.

In severe cases, attempting to clear the clog on your own can be difficult and may even require dismantling the toilet—a task that’s best left to professionals. A DIY approach might not be enough, especially when the blockage is deep in the pipes or caused by an issue that needs specialised tools to fix.

At Plumber Melbourne, we understand the urgency of a blocked toilet. Our experienced team is trained to handle toilet blockages quickly and efficiently, ensuring that your bathroom is back to normal in no time. Whether the blockage is minor or requires a more in-depth solution, we’re here to help.

If you’re dealing with a Blocked toilet Melbourne, don’t wait for the problem to get worse. Call us now at 1800 870 821, and we’ll respond promptly to resolve the issue and restore your peace of mind.

Toilet Blockage in Melbourne

A clogged toilet is not only frustrating but also a messy and unpleasant problem to deal with. Often, blockages are accompanied by strong, foul odours, and in some cases, you may even see toilet paper or waste floating in the bowl, adding to the discomfort.

If the water in your toilet is draining slowly or not at all, it’s essential to take immediate action before the blockage becomes worse. Ignoring a slow-draining or clogged toilet can lead to more severe problems, such as a complete blockage that could cause overflowing and potential damage to your bathroom.

While some blockages can be resolved with DIY methods, it’s not always straightforward. Sometimes, the issue runs deeper into the pipes and needs professional attention to avoid further complications.

If you’re dealing with a blocked toilet in Melbourne, Victoria, you have two choices: try to unblock it yourself or call in the experts. At Plumber Melbourne, we’re equipped to handle any blockage quickly and efficiently, so you don’t have to worry about making the problem worse.

For fast, reliable service, don’t hesitate to contact us at 1800 870 821 to schedule an appointment. Our professional team is ready to help get your toilet back in working order as soon as possible!

Unblock a clogged toilet yourself

In Melbourne, some people might consider handling a clogged toilet as a simple DIY project, assuming it’s an issue that can be easily fixed. While this can be true for minor blockages, such as a small wad of toilet paper, more stubborn clogs often require a different approach.

If you find that your plunger isn’t doing the trick, or if the blockage seems to recur frequently, it’s wise to seek professional assistance. However, before you attempt to fix the issue yourself, it’s important to know what methods to avoid. We strongly advise against using chemical unblockers.

These substances, while marketed as effective solutions, are highly corrosive and can damage your drain pipes over time. Additionally, they pose serious health risks—contact with these chemicals can cause burns to your skin, and the fumes released can be harmful to your respiratory system.

Plumber Melbourne often encounters toilets treated with these harsh chemicals, only to find that they create more problems than they solve. These chemicals can lead to environmental damage and complications with water treatment processes.

The best initial approach is to check if the blockage is in the syphon of the toilet, as this area is often the easiest to clear. For persistent or severe clogs, professional help is usually required. If you need reliable assistance with a clogged toilet, don’t hesitate to call Plumber Melbourne at 1800 870 821. We’re here to help you get your toilet back to normal quickly and safely.

Toilet blockage

Unblocking the syphon

The syphon, located behind the toilet drain, is a gooseneck-shaped component designed to trap odours and prevent foul sewer smells from entering your home. However, a clogged toilet can disrupt this function.

Blockages are often caused by flushing excessive toilet paper or items that shouldn’t be flushed, such as baby wipes, sanitary pads, tampons, nappies, or toilet block products. These materials can become lodged in the syphon.

To address this issue, start by wearing rubber gloves and attempt to remove the blockage manually. Flushing the toilet again is not advisable, as it may cause the blockage to become more compact and deeper.

If you successfully remove the blockage, we recommend flushing the area with warm water mixed with a spoonful of washing-up liquid to clear any remaining debris.

If manual removal fails, you can try using a bucket of washing-up liquid or a plunger to loosen the blockage. Detailed instructions for these methods are provided below.

For professional assistance with your blockage, please contact Plumber Melbourne. We are available at 1800 870 821 to schedule an appointment.

Fix clog toilet with soap

If you suspect that the blockage is deeper than the syphon, you might want to try using dish soap. Detergent has a degreasing and cleaning effect, which can help loosen the dirt from the walls of the toilet. This may allow the blockage to be dislodged and flushed away.

To use dish soap for clearing the blockage, first place a towel around the base of the toilet to catch any splashes or overflow. Next, fill a bucket with warm water, ensuring that the water is not too hot, as this could damage the porcelain. Add a tablespoon of dish soap to the bucket and stir well.

Pour the soapy water from as high as possible into the toilet. The height creates additional pressure that can help dislodge the blockage. If you’re successful, flush the toilet with another bucket of warm, soapy water to ensure the blockage is fully cleared.

If this method doesn’t work, check whether the plunger creates a good seal with the toilet. If the problem persists, it’s advisable to contact a professional plumber. The toilet might need to be dismantled to remove the blockage effectively. Plumber Melbourne is here to help—feel free to schedule an appointment by calling 1800 870 821.

Plunger

Unclog the toilet with a plunger

A plunger is a traditional and effective method for unclogging a toilet. By creating suction with the plunger, you can pull the blockage back into the toilet, where you can then remove it by hand (always use rubber gloves).

It’s crucial that the plunger seals properly around the toilet drain. If the rubber cup does not form a good seal, the plunger will not work effectively. To ensure the cup is flexible enough, hold the rubber under warm water first, which will help it conform better to the drain.

Once the blockage is cleared, it’s a good idea to thoroughly flush the toilet. Fill a bucket with warm water and add a spoonful of dish soap. Pour this from a height into the toilet to help loosen and flush away any remaining debris.

If the blockage persists, it may be too stubborn to clear with a plunger alone. In that case, it’s best to call a professional plumber. Contact a skilled technician at 1800 870 821 for prompt and effective assistance.

Careful with an unblocker spring

When using an unblocker spring, caution is essential. Simply inserting the spring into the toilet bowl can lead to it becoming lodged in the drain, and it may also damage the toilet.

To use a spring effectively, the toilet bowl typically needs to be disassembled first. Only then can the spring be inserted into the drain to either break up or push through the blockage.

Unfortunately, if the blockage is located very deep in the system, a basic unblocker spring may not suffice. In such cases, a professional-grade spring machine, capable of reaching depths of several metres, is required.

For many people, disassembling the toilet and dealing with deep blockages can be overwhelming. Fortunately, we have extensive experience in unblocking toilets and can provide expert assistance. If you need help, don’t hesitate to contact us to schedule an appointment at 1800 870 821.

Prevention

Prevent a clogged toilet

Prevention is always better than cure, especially when it comes to avoiding a clogged toilet in Melbourne.

Although it may seem intuitive to only flush appropriate items, many people mistakenly flush grease, excessive toilet paper, and other waste down the toilet. Over time, this waste accumulates in the drain, leading to blockages and inconvenient plumbing issues.

To minimise the risk of clogs, it’s important to be mindful of what you flush. Avoid disposing of grease, and limit the amount of toilet paper you use. If you find that you’re using more paper than usual, consider flushing more frequently to prevent build-up.

Regular maintenance is key to preventing frequent clogs. If you’re experiencing regular issues with a clogged toilet, scheduling an annual drain flush can be highly beneficial. During this service, our plumber will thoroughly flush the drain to remove any accumulated waste, significantly reducing the likelihood of future blockages.

For reliable and proactive maintenance of your toilet, contact Plumber Melbourne today. Call us at 1800 870 821 to schedule an appointment and keep your toilet in top condition.

Why is a plumber called a plumber?

A plumber's work used to consist of pouring lead. This involved using strips of lead to seal joints in pipes. Today, this is almost not done anymore.

However, the name plumber is still widely used today. The work of a plumber has become much more complex. Think of kitting and installing pipes for bathrooms and kitchens. Plumber Melbourne can take care of it all!
