What Causes a Blocked Toilet?

Blocked toilets are typically caused by a build-up of materials within the drainage system or issues further along the pipework.

 

Common causes include:

 

  • Excessive toilet paper or non-flushable items

  • Sanitary products or wipes blocking the pipe

  • Build-up of debris within the drainage system

  • Structural issues such as misaligned pipework

  • External blockages affecting the main drain

How We Clear Blocked Toilets

When a Blocked Toilet Indicates a Bigger Problem

In some cases, a blocked toilet may be a sign of a wider drainage issue affecting the property.

This could include:

  • Blockages within the main drainage system

  • Collapsed or damaged pipework

  • Root ingress within the pipes

  • Heavy build-up restricting flow

 

Where necessary, we can provide recommendations for drainage repairs to address the underlying issue.

CCTV Drain Surveys for Blocked Toilets

If the cause of the blockage is not immediately clear or the issue is recurring, a CCTV drain survey can be carried out to inspect the internal condition of the pipework.
