Toilet Unblocking in Teesside
Fast, hygienic toilet unblocking services. We clear blockages quickly and efficiently, restoring your bathroom to full working order.
Fast & Hygienic Toilet Unblocking
A blocked toilet is one of the most unpleasant and inconvenient household problems. It can lead to overflowing water, bad smells, and potential hygiene risks. At Teesside Drainage, we understand the urgency of this issue and offer a rapid, discreet, and professional toilet unblocking service.
Our engineers are equipped with the tools and expertise to clear any blockage, whether it's located in the U-bend, the soil pipe, or further down the drainage system. We handle the job quickly and cleanly, so you don't have to.
Why Is My Toilet Blocked?
Toilets are designed to handle human waste and toilet paper only. However, blockages often occur due to:
- Too Much Toilet Paper: Using excessive amounts of paper can cause a clog in the U-bend.
- Sanitary Products: Tampons and pads expand in water and should never be flushed.
- Wet Wipes: Even those labeled "flushable" often fail to break down and cause major blockages.
- Foreign Objects: Toys, air fresheners, and other items accidentally dropped into the bowl.
- Scale Buildup: In hard water areas, limescale can narrow the pipe, making blockages more likely.
Our Unblocking Methods
We use professional-grade equipment to clear blockages safely without damaging your toilet or pipes:
- Manual Plunging: For simple blockages near the surface.
- Toilet Augers: Flexible tools that reach deep into the U-bend to hook or break up obstructions.
- Mechanical Coring: For harder blockages further down the soil pipe.
- High-Pressure Jetting: If the blockage is in the external drain, we use jetting to clear the line completely.
Preventing Future Blockages
Once we have cleared the blockage, our engineer can advise you on how to prevent it from happening again. This might involve advice on what not to flush or, if the issue is structural, recommendations for a repair.
Commercial Toilet Unblocking
Blocked toilets in a business setting can be a disaster for customers and staff. We provide rapid response for offices, restaurants, pubs, and retail stores to ensure your facilities remain open and hygienic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I unblock it myself?
For minor blockages, a plunger might work. However, if the water level is rising or the blockage is stubborn, DIY attempts can sometimes make it worse or damage the porcelain. It's safer to call a professional.
Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners?
We generally advise against strong chemical cleaners as they can damage pipes, seals, and the environment. They are also dangerous to handle. Mechanical removal is safer and more effective.
What if the problem is in the outside drain?
If the blockage is in the external sewer pipe, it may be affecting other drains in your house. We will check the manhole and use drain rods or jetting to clear the main line.
