How to prevent blocked toilets

It may seem a little late for this information if you're visiting this page because your toilet is already clogged up but knowing how to avoid this situation in the future means you could prevent having to be in this situation again.

Keeping your toilet free flowing and working correctly only takes a little effort. Thanks to great design modern plumbing systems usually operate smoothly with minimal help or interference from the user. Here's how to keep it that way:

• Follow the 3 P rule - the only things to go into the toilet should be the 3 Ps - Pee, Poo and (toilet) Paper
• Never flush these items - 'flushable' wet wipes, cleaning or toilet wipes, sanitary items, oil or fat, food scraps, deceased goldfish (or pets of any kind). Pretty much anything that is not in the 3 Ps.
• Keep your drains healthy - get the plumber in if the toilet or sink is slow to drain or if there is a bad smell coming from the drains.
• Get repairs carried out promptly - don't ignore faults in your toilet or cistern. A good flushing system will keep things moving and reduce water waste in your home.

More information on healthy plumbing systems can be found in our blog - How to avoid blocked drains.

Repeat blockages

If your toilet blocks up on a regular basis and you're following the tips listed above the issues may be occurring in the drains of your home.

Blocked drains, and as consequence blocked toilets, can reoccur due to problems such as tree root intrusion (roots following the water supply through a crack in the drain and causing a blockage), debris building up on a crack or break in the drain, or a collapsed or crushed pipe.

Our plumbing team can investigate recurring issues to get to the bottom of the problem and fix it once and for all.
