What Causes Toilet Blockage?

The common causes of toilet blockages are everyday habits or sometimes hidden plumbing or structural issues. Some common causes are:

  • Flushing non-flushable items: Wet wipes, sanitary products, cotton wool pads or dental floss, paper towels or flushable wipes, sometimes don’t break down properly and form stubborn clogs.
  • Too much toilet paper: Excessive or repeated flushing of toilet paper can overwhelm the draining system of some toilets, especially older models 
  • Limescale or mineral deposits inside pipes: Mineral build-up narrows internal pipe walls and increases the chance of blockage, even with normal toilet use 
  • Old, or damaged pipes: Sometimes, the real cause of toilet blockage is structural issues such as sagging soil pipe, damaged junctions or poor installation. All of these cause recurring toilet blockage.
  • Foreign objects: Children’s toys, small objects, foreign or sanitary items, can block the drainpipe by lodging. 

Understanding these causes helps you identify the cause of your current toilet blockage and resolve it. Also, you can avoid these causes in the future to prevent toilet drainage.

If you’ve mistakenly flushed out the wrong item or feel like there is an underlying, deeper structural issue, in both cases, professional help gets you a fast solution. 

Signs That Indicate You Need Toilet Unblocking

Toilet issues usually begin from small but if you don’t notice them initially, they escalate quickly. Acting fast can save your home or business from major damage. Some warning signs of toilet blockage are: 

 

  • Slow flushing: Water drains slowly after flushing, indicating partial blockage. 
  • Overflowing toilets: Repeated backups or unusual rise of water
  • Unpleasant odour: Consistent foul smell from the toilet bowl or nearby areas 
  • Gurgling sounds: Unusual noise or bubbling during flushing 
  • Water around the toilet base: flooding or seepage on the floor 

 

If you notice any of these signs, don’t delay, take immediate action and professional help to prevent hygiene issues and property damage.
