Signs Your Toilet is Blocked

Call us immediately if:

Water rises when you flush but won’t drain away
Toilet bowl fills up higher than normal
Flushing causes water to back up into bath, shower, or sink
Gurgling sounds after flushing
Foul smells from the toilet
Toilet flushes slowly and weakly
Multiple flushes needed to clear waste

Don’t keep flushing! This can cause the toilet to overflow, creating a sewage flood in your bathroom.

What Causes Blocked Toilets in Horsham?

Items That Don’t Belong Down the Toilet

The most common cause of blocked toilets is flushing inappropriate items:

Baby wipes – Even “flushable” wipes don’t break down
Sanitary products – Tampons and pads cause serious blockages
Cotton wool and cotton buds – These don’t dissolve
Nappies – Causes immediate, severe blockages
Paper towels – Too thick to break down
Dental floss – Wraps around waste and creates clogs
Cat litter – Expands when wet

The golden rule: Only flush the 3 Ps – Pee, Poo, and (toilet) Paper!

Excessive Toilet Paper

Older toilets and low-flow models can struggle with large amounts of toilet paper, especially thicker brands. This is common in:

Victorian properties in Horsham town centre
Homes with septic tanks
Properties with low water pressure

External Drain Problems

Sometimes the toilet isn’t blocked – it’s the drain outside:

Tree roots growing into sewer pipes
Collapsed or damaged underground pipes
Shared drains blocked by neighbors
Main sewer line blockages

Our CCTV surveys quickly identify external issues.

How We Unblock Your Toilet

Step 1: Emergency Call

Step 2: Rapid Arrival

Our nearest engineer will be dispatched and typically reaches Horsham properties within 60 minutes.

Step 3: Assessment

We’ll assess whether it’s a toilet blockage or a drain problem. This determines the best approach.

Step 4: Professional Clearance

We use several methods depending on the blockage:

High-pressure water jetting – For stubborn blockages
Professional augers – Mechanical clearing tools
Specialist chemicals – Safe for septic systems
Manual removal – For foreign objects

We DON’T just plunge and hope – we have professional equipment that clears blockages properly.

Step 5: Testing

We’ll flush the toilet several times to ensure it’s working perfectly and won’t block again immediately.

For recurring blockages, we offer a free CCTV inspection to identify underlying problems.

We leave your bathroom spotless, removing all waste and sanitizing the area.

Blocked Toilet FAQs

How much does it cost to unblock a toilet in Horsham?
Simple blockages typically cost £80-£120. We provide transparent quotes before starting – no call-out fees or hidden charges.

How quickly can you get here?
We aim for 1-hour response times across Horsham. In the town centre, we often arrive in 30-45 minutes.

What if my toilet keeps blocking?
Recurring blockages suggest an underlying problem. We include a free CCTV survey to identify issues like root intrusion or pipe damage.

Can you help if my toilet is overflowing?
Yes! This is an emergency. Call us immediately. Turn off the water supply at the isolation valve behind the toilet to stop it overflowing further.

Multiple Toilets Blocked?

If several toilets in your property are blocked simultaneously, this indicates:

Main drain blockage – The shared drain serving all toilets
Sewer problem – Possible issue with the main sewer line
Septic tank full – If you’re not on mains drainage

This requires more extensive work than a single toilet blockage. Call us for an assessment – we’ll use CCTV to identify the exact location and cause.

Prevention Tips: Avoid Toilet Blockages

DO:

✓ Only flush toilet paper (and not too much at once)
✓ Keep a bathroom bin for sanitary items
✓ Use moderate amounts of toilet paper
✓ Consider thinner toilet paper for older systems
✓ Pour hot water down weekly (if not on septic)

DON’T:

✗ Flush baby wipes (even “flushable” ones)
✗ Flush sanitary products, nappies, or cotton wool
✗ Use excessive bleach (damages pipes long-term)
✗ Ignore warning signs like slow flushing
✗ Keep plunging if it doesn’t work (call us!)
