What Causes a Blocked Toilet?
We’ll spare you and avoid going into too much detail here, as we’re sure you can imagine the most common cause of blocked toilet pipes. However, other blockages are commonplace and easy to prevent.
Toilet paper is the most familiar culprit when it comes to a blocked toilet, but sanitary products are another regular offender. The type of drainage system at a property determines what can and can’t be flushed through the system. Check all packaging for disposal instructions before flushing to ensure you’re not blocking your pipes.
