Blocked Toilets Cleared
Some Times a Plumber Will Do
Blocked toilets, or toilets that are backing up and overflowing, may not always need the services of a drainage engineer. Many toilet related problems can be sorted by a plumber and we have the use of a highly skilled and local plumber that is bpec qualified, with many years of experience in his trade.
Yorkshire Water
Yorkshire water are responsible for all blocked drains in the public sewers in the Yorkshire area, but aren’t usually responsible for drains that lie between your property and your property boundary unless shared.
Yorkshire water often have up to 5 days waiting time. We can usually arrive the same day, often within an hour and clear the blockage. In rare cases such as when the main sewer is blocked then that is a job for Yorkshire water.

Blocked Toilet Causes
A blocked toilet may be from a blockage caused by items being flushed away the system is not designed to take such as wet wipes, cotton swabs, sanitary towels and too much tissue.
Problems with flushing may simply be down to the fact there is not enough water, therefore not enough pressure, in the water cistern.
Water not shifting and backing up then flowing over the toilet rim could be down to a blockage in the toilet trap (the bend), a blockage in the drain pipes or even broken pipes or malfunctioning plumbing or even a problem with an external blocked drain outside of the property. Such a problem would prevent the waste water from the building from draining away efficiently. The water would then back up into the toilet and in some cases even the bath or sinks.
Top Causes of a Blocked Toilet
- Items such as plastic toilet bowl fresheners
- Too much tissue paper being flushed at the same time.
- Cooking oil, fats and waste food.
- Kids toys
- Sanitary towels or wet wipes
- Problems with an external drain being blocked, damaged or tree root ingress.
