Do-It-Yourself Tips

There are certain actionable tips you can try to unblock the toilet and get the toilet water draining smoothly.

How to dissolve blocked toilets caused by toilet paper:

Manufacturers make toilet paper in such a way that it easily breaks up and dissolves in water. This is possible except when too much toilet paper fills a tiny space where it creates a gummy clog. A quick example, stuffing too much toilet paper in your toilet commode may clog the toilet drain. In this case, there are certain things you can do to get the water flowing again.

• Step 1: Clear out every item that you may have stored in your toilet. To avoid staining them with filth while you get down to work
• Step 2: Next, open the seat of your toilet and support it against the toilet tank. Doing so will make it easier to work on the tissue paper clog.
• Step 3: Apply pressure to the commode using a plunger. Ensure the cup covers the toilet drain opening. Start plunging the toilet by holding the plunger in your hands and work it downward and upward over the toilet drain opening. The downward and upward movements of the plunger cup create a suction that pulls and pushes the clog. The toilet tissue is dissolved once the toilet bowl empties upon removing the plunger.
• Step 4: Flush your toilet to confirm whether the paper is completely dissolved.
• Step 5: In case the paper doesn’t dissolve after using a plunger, then you can try to dissolve it with the help of a toilet auger. To do this, insert the barbed or hooked end of an auger into the opening of the toilet drain. Push it down the drain and stop when you notice some resistance. – Noticing a resistance is an indicator that you’ve reached the clog. You should rotate the handle and continue pushing the auger against the stuck toilet paper to disintegrate it.
• Step 6: Remove the auger and try flushing the toilet and check whether the water drains smoothly. If not, work the auger again.

Plunging down a blocked toilet could be pretty messy, especially when the wastewater is overflowing. Follow these safe steps to unblock blocked toilets in Sydney.

• Step 1: Plunging will splash wastewater and you wouldn’t want the wastewater to splash on other items. We advise that you place towels at the base of your toilet.
• Step 2: Fold the skirt of the plunger from inside. This will create a tighter seal at the bottom opening of the toilet commode. Once you’re done folding the skirt, use the plunger to pump the bowl opening at the bottom vigorously for about six times. Take some rest and repeat for another six times.
• Step 3: In case you’ve forced enough water through the bowl and you’re still unable to create a good suction with a plunger, then you can control the water amount in the toilet bowl by simply lifting the toilet flush valve from inside the tank.
• Then try plunging again. Upon thinking that the clog has cleared, try flushing the toilet again.
