If a WC gets blocked it seems to be an impossible task to unblock, you just dont know where to begin, especially if you are not particularly taken with do it yourself jobs. It is tempting just to pretend it will cure itself. The symptoms are quite simple, the waste will just not go away when the WC is flushed. It might drain away but only very slowly and it will only reappear on the next flush and may even overflow which would cause all kinds of problems, importantly health ones! You should call a professional plumber if you are not confident enough to tackle this job.. Enfield Plumbers are experienced in this field. However if you do what will it take?(a). Get yourself a rod and a 6 inch plunger, and connect the two together. This is going to be used to plunge the bowl. They are sold at all plumbing outlets or suppliers. (b). Make certain there is some water in the bowl in order to form a seal for the plunger. (c). Work the plunger to and fro with lots of force. In the majority of cases the plunger will do the job ok. Plunging can be very effective.After all this effort you should be rewarded with a WC pan that is clean and clear of any mess or blockages. If the WC pan is still backed up it is more than likely that a major blockage is located somewhere down inside the pipework. The problem could quite easily knock on to other places in the home like your kitchen sink and also the bath rendering them unserviceable and that is not recommended. This really is the time where many people realize that a professional plumber is solid gold. An exerienced tradesmen like an Enfield Plumber can find and rectify blockages.
