Why Your Toilet Gets Blocked - Common Causes of a Clogged Toilet

Toilet issues like this are more common than you might think. They can be caused by a variety of factors, such as excessive toilet paper, flushing of non-dissolvable items, or build-up of material over time. Understanding what causes toilet clogs can help you prevent them in the future, but when you find yourself with an emergency toilet issue, or one that you think needs attention, it's best to leave the unclogging to the professionals.

The Risks of DIY Toilet Unclogging

While it might seem like an easy fix, attempting to unblock your toilet yourself can often make the situation worse. Whether you're considering using a wire hanger, a toilet brush, or a homemade concoction of baking soda and vinegar, be aware that these methods can damage your plumbing system and even lead to an overflowing toilet.

Preventing Future Toilet Blockages

A key part of our service is not just fixing the current issue, but helping you prevent future dramas. We'll provide you with advice on how to keep your toilet clog-free, such as using less toilet paper, avoiding flushing non-dissolvable items, and performing regular maintenance checks. And, of course, if an issue does occur, we're just a phone call away.

Avoiding the Common Pitfalls of Toilet Unclogging

While we’ve touched on the risks of DIY toilet unclogging, it’s important to reiterate some common pitfalls. Homemade solutions like vinegar and baking soda or tool improvisations with wire coat hangers might seem like a quick fix, but they can often lead to more damage and expense in the long run. Trusting professionals like us ensures your toilet will be unclogged correctly and safely. We'll find whatever is causing the issue and get it fixed fast.

FAQs

Can you unclog a toilet without a plunger?
Yes, it is technically possible to unclog a toilet without a plunger. However, it often requires specific knowledge and tools to do it effectively and safely. DIY methods can sometimes worsen the situation or even damage your plumbing system. If you're in Melbourne and faced with a toilet dilemma, a safer option is to call on the professionals at Melbourne Plumbing Co. In the meantime, be sure to keep a plunger handy for those small drain unblocking jobs that you can handle yourself.
Can you use baking soda and vinegar to do the job?

Baking soda and vinegar can sometimes help with minor blockages due to their chemical reaction and are safer than chemical drain cleaners which are more geared to clearing clogged drains. However, for more stubborn clogs or recurring problems, this method may not be effective. It's also important to note that repeated use of this method can potentially harm your pipes. A professional plumber from Melbourne Plumbing Co can provide a more reliable, long-term solution.

What are the causes of a blocked toilet?

Blocked and clogged toilets can be caused by a variety of factors including flushing non-dissolvable items, excessive use of toilet paper, or build-up of material over time. In some cases, it could also be due to issues with the sewer line. It's important to have a professional diagnose the issue to ensure it's properly addressed.

What is the best way to unclog a toilet?

The best way to unclog a toilet depends on the nature of the blockage. While plungers and drain snakes can be effective for simple clogs, more complex blockages may require professional tools and expertise. To ensure the job is done safely and effectively, it's best to call a professional plumbing service like Melbourne Plumbing Co. Remember though, hygiene is of utmost importance. Whenever attempting to do anything when it comes to DIY with your toilet, wear rubber gloves and be careful not to use a homemade drain cleaner that contains any dangerous or corrosive chemicals. Something else to consider is that you can't always get a a good seal when you insert a plunger in the toilet bowl. This is almost always the case in a badly clogged toilet. Using a plunger is rarely an effective way to unclog the toilet. If you can't flush your toilet, you should always assess the situation and call the specialists if you're out of your depth!

Should you use a toilet brush to do the job?

Using a toilet brush to unclog a toilet is generally not recommended. It's not designed for this purpose and could end up damaging your toilet or pushing the blockage further down. Some people recommend using dish soap mixed in a cup of baking soda, but this could just fill up the bowl more and cause toilet overflow. Instead, consider reaching out to a professional plumber to handle the issue.

What is a drain snake?

A drain snake, also known as a plumber's snake, toilet snake or drain auger, is a flexible coil of wire that's pushed down a drain to dislodge a clog. It's a tool commonly used by professional plumbers to handle more stubborn blockages. At Melbourne Plumbing Co, our expert team is well-equipped with tools like these to handle any toilet problems you might be facing.

During landscaping works in our garden we accidentally hit a water pipe and had water going everywhere. Melbourne Plumbing Co quickly came to the rescue. They were over at our place the same day and quickly had the broken pipe fixed, with friendly service to boot! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Melbourne Plumbing Co. 👌

I have no hesitation in recommending Melbourne Plumbing Co! All of my experiences and contact with them have been nothing but incredibly positive and they will be my first call for any future issues. Melanie was super responsive to my initial query when I had low water pressure and sent someone out to look at it quickly. David and Mo were both really friendly and thorough while looking at my issue. They were able to fix my water pressure in the first visit and explained what the problem was to me. My shower is now the more powerful than it has ever been! When my hot water unit died, Christian came to visit the next day and worked around my schedule. He was able to provide me with a quote on the same day and had someone come out the next day to fix it. David and Maddy were really lovely and worked quickly to get their part done before the electrician arrived. They were both so friendly and let me ask questions along the way while they took me through everything they were doing. Everyone who helped and came to my home was incredibly helpful, friendly, thorough, and helped me understand the problem and what they were doing to fix it. Special shout out to David who was very kind and is very skilled at his job while teaching others, and to Melanie who has been so lovely and helpful. Huge thank you for minimising the stress in these difficult situations! It is greatly appreciated

Simply brilliant. From the initial call to attending and completing repairs, I couldn't be more impressed by Aaron and Melbourne Plumbing Co, after urgent repair for burst plumbing and shower taps that were unable to be turned off. The leaking had also caused water ingress in the building and flooding downstairs and through the wall outside. Aaron promptly and easily identified the fault and was able to repair it "live" without mains access. Water was flooding through the wall behind the shower, and running outside and into the room downstairs. The burst and flooding was due to high water pressure required to supply slowly-leaking taps reported since moving in and quoted to repair in 2023 by rental agency plumbers (replace old tap washers), but repair work was never approved to be performed. The agency owner repeatedly refused to approve repair work and insisted on attending and personally viewing the property faults and repair issues (which included rusty water and recurrent failure of the electricity supply). He reached in to the shower and turned the leaking shower taps even tighter in the off direction in 2023 to demonstrate how he had solved the faulty taps and any need for plumbing repair. The agent stated that the taps were simply not turned tight enough "off". He advised me I "just need to turn them off tighter" in order prevent the water that was leaking from the shower head and also leaking directly from the tap spindles, particularly leaking from the tap spindle for the hot water. As a result, this and the un-repaired taps allowed the leaking water to continue leaking from the tap and shower fixtures, and water pressure to continue to increase for over 12 months. This also meant Aaron had to attend and repair the burst and had high pressure running shower water and external flooding to combat to isolate the issues and fault and perform the repair work. Couldn't be more impressed with the professionalism and ability to Melbourne Plumbing Co to respond, identify and complete repair. Melanie was also fantastic and very prompt, and made everything easy. No hesitation in recommending them. Highly capable, efficient, and thorough. A special comment about Aaron, and his pride and workmanship- despite his youth, he seemed like he’d been a plumber for over 50 years. He had so much integrity for his trade and dedication to helping and getting the job done. Extremely experienced, calm, reliable and trustworthy. Can’t thank and commend him enough.

Amazing ... we were waiting longer than a month for our usual plumber so rang Melb Plumbing. It wasn't an emergency but they had a free plumber available and were at our place in 15 minutes. Yes 15 min! They were professional, polite, asked how we wanted our taps set, listened to us, explained what they were doing, did the job very efficiently and cleaned up. They are fantastic. Even made sure the dog didn't escape out the door. David and Mo ... thanks for your excellent work. Price was fair and reasonable for a few hours of tricky quarter turn taps, kitchen mixer and shower set replacements. Highly recommended.

If you require a plumber/s in an emergency these are the people to call. I had a serious issue with my Hot Waterservice (no HOT WATER coming through the tap), my worst nightmare. Fortunately a Plumber by the name of Arron arrived checked out the issue and went to work. Solved the problem and explained the issue. Not only that he replaced my bathroom taps, kitchen taps and adjusted the ones in tha laundary. Try turning on a Tap that has been locked for a number of years. Arron did the hard work for me and made everything new again (Magic).The cost was very competitive and I would recommend that you give them a call if that plumbing nightmare rears its ugly head in your home and let Melbourne Plumbing deal with it so that you can have that warm shower and sleep in peace.

Chris and his team have done a fabulous and professional job moving and installing new plumbing and appliances for our new kitchen. The job was completed ahead of schedule to an excellent standard! Communication and responsiveness were both excellent. What we appreciated the most was the diligence and care that was shown towards our kitchen space when installing the sink, tap, oven and dishwasher after the cabinetry and stone was installed. This is a rare trait and one to be applauded. We would have no hesitation in hiring Chris and his team from Melbourne Plumbing Co and we will do so again when we tackle our bathroom and laundry.

The guys were great. There were 2 new toilets,new shower suite and new faucets installed. All done professionally with smiles and provided work updates as it all progressed. Their work area was always left clean. These new installations were required because of my hip issues. Melbourne plumbing were aware and helped me select the products for my needs. Christian was informative and patient. Also wanted to mention that I love my new rain shower with handle. It makes showering so much easier as do the new toilets and faucets. I highly recommend Melbourne Plumbing for not only the plumbing and installation, but also for assisting in choosing the right products for my bathroom. Yes I highly recommend Melbourne Plumbing.
