A blocked toilet can quickly become unpleasant, unhygienic and disruptive, especially if water is rising, the toilet will not flush properly or wastewater is backing up. Drain Division provides professional blocked toilet services for domestic and commercial properties.
Our drainage engineers can assess the problem, clear the blockage and advise whether the issue is limited to the toilet or connected to a wider drainage problem. If more than one toilet, sink, bath or outside drain is affected, you may need wider blocked drain services or emergency drain unblocking.
Common Signs of a Blocked Toilet
You may have a blocked toilet if you notice:
If the water level is rising, avoid flushing again until the blockage has been assessed, as this can make the problem worse.
Blocked toilets are often caused by items being flushed that should not enter the drainage system. In other cases, the toilet blockage may be a symptom of a problem further along the pipework.
Common causes include:
If the toilet keeps blocking, or other drains are also affected, a CCTV drain survey may be recommended to check for hidden damage or repeat blockage causes.
Our engineers can assess whether the blockage is within the toilet, the waste pipe or the wider drainage system. The right method will depend on the cause of the blockage and how far the issue has travelled through the pipework.
Toilet unblocking may include:
Where pipe damage is found, Drain Division can advise on suitable next steps, including drain relining or pitch fibre pipe repair or replacement where relevant.
A blocked toilet may be a simple local blockage, but it can also point to a wider drainage issue if other drains are slow, noisy or backing up.
You may also need:
Drain Division provides blocked toilet and drainage services across many areas, including Aldershot, Basingstoke, Guildford, Reading, Southampton and Winchester.
What should I do if my toilet is blocked?
If the water is rising or the toilet is not draining, avoid flushing again. Repeated flushing can cause the bowl to overflow and make the problem worse.
Why does my toilet keep blocking?
A toilet that keeps blocking may be caused by wipes, sanitary products, excess tissue, a partial obstruction, poor drainage flow, root ingress or damaged pipework further along the system.
Can a blocked toilet be a drain problem?
Yes. If other toilets, sinks, baths, showers or outside drains are also affected, the blockage may be in the wider drainage system rather than just the toilet.
Can you unblock commercial toilets?
Yes. Drain Division can help with blocked toilets in commercial premises as well as domestic properties.
Will I need a CCTV drain survey for a blocked toilet?
Not always. A CCTV drain survey may be recommended if the toilet keeps blocking, if several drains are affected or if there are signs of damage within the pipework.
