Blockages in toilets can occur quite often and you can attempt to clear such a blockage yourself. If the situation doesn’t get better or you are concerned about taking on this kind of the blockage, then you should contact a professional service like South Kensington Plumbers who are trained professionals with years of experience. A toilet block can be a real inconvenience, for the most personal reasons and the majority of homeowners would not know where to start in order to rectify the problem particularly if they are not very practically minded or maybe quite elderly and not concerned with all things do it yourself. A South Kensington Plumber is trained to work on all domestic appliances. The signs are really simple easy to spot, as the waste will not wash away when the WC is flush handle or button is operated, or maybe drain slowly, which can result in an overflow in the bathroom if the waste comes back. If you want to try and ublock the pan yourself, here is a brief guide: A Plunger will be needed initially to try and free the blockage, and a good start point. The plunger is a wooden handle with a 6inch rubber bowl shape upside down on the end. They are available at all plumber’s merchants. Next, confirm that there is still a level of water in the pan, this will make a seal with the plunger rubber. Place the plunger over the drain and draw back and forth with a pumping action. This should cause enough vacuum to hopefully dislodge the blockage and allow it to be flushed away. In most cases of blockages, the plunger is successful. Just in case the WC remains blocked, it can mean that a mass is lodged further in the pipework and you will not be able to sort this yourself. If not dealt with straight away it could quite affect other places in the home such as your kitchen sink and also the bath, which of is a major health hazard. Only expert plumbers will have the correct tools and experience required to shift this kind of awkward obstruction.
