Blocked Toilet Repairs Gold Coast

Is your toilet not flushing correctly? Whether your toilet is slow to flush or water overflows, these are screaming indicators that it’s a blocked toilet. Many people have come across Gold Coast blocked toilets, so don’t stress it when dealing with one. At first, you’d expect your toilet tank not to have enough water, but then you realise you’re indeed facing a clogged toilet. So, you put on your rubber gloves, try solving the issue with boiling water or at least two cups of a chemical drain cleaner, and use a plunger or toilet snake in your overflowing toilet, hoping the clog clears. But using a plunger still doesn’t work.

Aside from your toilet not flushing properly, you’ll notice other signs, such as a clogged toilet drain. Blocked toilets often include signs like gurgling sounds, a weak flush as if there’s not enough water, and foul odours no matter how much you use a drain cleaner. You can try to use half a cup of vinegar and baking soda or boiling water in your toilet clogs like in your kitchen clogged drain. When the vinegar and baking soda combine, the natural chemical reaction will bubble up and loosen the clog. And for those who aren’t faint of heart, you can use a small container or plastic bottle to suction the water so you can reach out for the cause of the clog. Avoid harsh chemicals, which may even cause more harm than help.

Some of the factors causing toilet blockages that may require repairs are:

Flushable Wipes/Toilet Paper

Too much toilet paper or flushable wipes can be one of the most common reasons for clogged toilets, which also often leads to an overflowing toilet. Even if it says on the package of your toilet paper tissues and toilet wet wipes they’re safe for flushing — they’re not. They’re made not to tear easily, and thus, this makes them hard to break so they can pass through your pipes. And more often than not, you can’t simply push one end of a bent wire coat hanger or a drain snake to pull out these clogging materials since they could be blocked deeper in your toilet drain.

Tree Roots

It’s also useless to use a plunger, coat hanger, closet auger, or one cup of dish soap and hot water to solve your badly clogged toilet issue. Roots invading household pipes are more common than you’d expect. Tree roots can grow and creep into your toilet drain pipes, cracking or breaking them and causing your toilet to block.

Other Material And Debris

Other things flushed down the toilet can cause your headache, too. Unknown to you, your children could’ve accidentally dropped and flushed their toys, causing the clog. Or you dropped a bar of soap, and you thought it melted away. Some might have, but residues could be solidified and are now stuck in your pipes. You can try to use a plunger on small things, but using a plunger does not guarantee that your badly blocked toilet drain will be solved. Repeat the process of plunging and even try a bent coat hanger to reach out to the toys and other debris; maybe even pour some dish soap, make it two cups now, to soften some stuff and flush it away. Dish soap works wonders in most blocked toilets.
