Blocked Toilet Services

A blocked toilet is more than just an inconvenience; it can quickly become a messy and stressful problem if not dealt with properly. At Marco Plumbing Services, we understand the urgency of resolving a blocked toilet, and our experienced plumbers are ready to provide fast, professional, and reliable service throughout Brisbane. Whether it’s a minor clog or a more complex issue deep within your plumbing system, we’ve got you covered.

Why Do Toilets Get Blocked?
Toilets can become blocked for a variety of reasons, and while some blockages are simple to clear, others can indicate more serious plumbing problems. The most common causes of blocked toilets include:

• Too Much Toilet Paper: While toilet paper is designed to break down in water, using too much at once can create a blockage, especially in older plumbing systems.
• Flushing Non-Flushable Items: Items like wet wipes, sanitary products, paper towels, and cotton balls don’t break down like toilet paper and can easily cause a clog in your pipes.
• Foreign Objects: It’s not uncommon for small objects, such as children’s toys, to accidentally get flushed down the toilet. These objects can get stuck in the pipes and cause an immediate blockage.
• Aged or Damaged Plumbing: Older pipes can develop cracks or become narrowed by a build-up of limescale or sediment, making them more prone to blockages.
• Sewer Line Issues: Sometimes, the problem isn’t with the toilet itself, but with the sewer line. Tree roots, pipe collapses, or other damage to the sewer line can cause serious toilet blockages that require professional attention.

Regardless of the cause, Marco Plumbing Services has the expertise and tools to clear your blocked toilet and ensure your plumbing system is functioning properly.

How We Clear Blocked Toilets?
At Marco Plumbing Services, we approach every blocked toilet issue with a combination of skill, experience, and the latest plumbing technology. Here’s how we ensure your toilet is unblocked quickly and effectively:

• 1. Initial Assessment
  When our plumber arrives, we’ll conduct a thorough assessment of the situation to determine the cause of the blockage. This helps us identify whether it’s a simple clog or a more complex issue further down the plumbing system.
• 2. Plunging and Drain Clearing
  For minor blockages, a professional-grade plunger or drain auger is often all that’s needed to dislodge the clog and restore proper water flow. Our team uses high-quality tools designed to handle even the toughest blockages without damaging your toilet or pipes.
• 3. CCTV Drain Camera Inspection
  If the blockage is more serious or located deeper in the plumbing system, we use advanced CCTV drain cameras to inspect the inside of your pipes. This allows us to locate the exact cause of the blockage, whether it’s a foreign object, tree roots, or a collapsed pipe.
• 4. High-Pressure Water Jetting
  For stubborn clogs caused by sediment, limescale, or debris further down the drain, we use high-pressure water jetting to clear the blockage. This method involves using a powerful stream of water to blast away the obstruction, leaving your pipes clean and free-flowing.
• 5. Sewer Line Repairs
  If the blockage is due to a more serious issue, such as damage to the sewer line, we’ll provide expert advice and recommend the necessary repairs. Our plumbers are trained in sewer line diagnostics and repairs, ensuring that the root cause of the problem is addressed effectively.

Signs Your Toilet is Blocked
While some toilet blockages are immediately obvious, others may develop slowly over time. Here are a few signs that your toilet may be blocked:

• Slow Flushing or Draining: If your toilet takes longer than usual to flush or the water drains slowly, it could be an early sign of a blockage.
  Water Rising in the Bowl: If water rises to the top of the bowl after flushing and drains slowly or not at all, there’s likely a blockage in the pipes.
  Gurgling Sounds:
• Gurgling noises coming from the toilet or nearby drains can indicate a blockage or air trapped in the pipes.
• Frequent Clogs: If your toilet clogs regularly, even after being cleared, it could be a sign of a more serious issue that needs professional attention.
• Overflowing Water: In severe cases, the toilet may overflow after flushing, which is often caused by a significant blockage in the pipes.

If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait until the problem worsens—contact Marco Plumbing Services for immediate assistance.
