How To Fix Blocked Drains
The right way to unblock a toilet
Using a Plunger
Place the plunger in the toilet
Press firmly multiple times until the blockage has been dislodged
Ensure you disinfect and wash your plunger and toilet
TIP: If you have a blockage, do not keep flushing as you run the risk of overflow resulting in flooding the room.
Using a Drain Auger
- Unwind and extend the coil and place into toilet
- Feed down the toilet until you feel a resistance
- Move the coil in an up and down motion to disseminate blockage. Once the blockage has been cleared, you will notice a reduction in the water levels.
- Remove auger
- Ensure you disinfect and wash the auger coil and toilet
If it is a major blockage you may need to consult a plumber.
