What could be causing this?
Most blocked toilets have one of these causes — all of them can be dealt with the same day.
Wet wipes
"Flushable" wipes do not break down like paper and are the most common cause we find.
Too much paper at once
Especially in older buildings with narrow, flat pipes.
Something dropped in
Toys, cotton buds, sanitary products — they catch everything behind them.
Problem further down
A sagging pipe or a blocked building column makes the toilet the first place water backs up.
What to do right now, while the plumber is on the way
Simple steps to limit the damage
- 1
Stop flushing
If the water is rising, one more flush can overflow onto the floor.
- 2
Close the valve behind the toilet
The small valve on the pipe feeding the cistern stops it refilling.
- 3
Skip the chemicals
Drain cleaners rarely clear a real blockage and make the job dangerous for whoever opens it.
