Briefly,

It depends on where it is blocked and what's causing it.

The cure ranges from sticking your hand down the pan through all the solids
etc to employing somebody like Dyno-Rod to come and jet the sewers.

If its just the pan blocked on the bend with a childs toy, lots of paper etc
and it can't be cleared by sticking a gloved hand down and grabbing it, try
carefully disconnecting and releasing the pan, put the pan into a large
plastic bag (wheelie bin liner is ideal), take it outside and then upend the
pan into the bag it to remove the solids and then extract the toy etc from
the 'other end' of the pan - to get rid of the solids out of the plastic
bag, just lift the manhole cover and tip them down there.

If the blockage is in the soil pipe between the pan and the manhole cover
outside, then things can become a little more complicated and you will need
to hire or buy a set of drain rods to go poking around in the pipe - you may
have to remove the pan, possibly remove sections of waste pipe or even get
hold of a set of ladders to rod from the top of the vent pipe from the roof
down.

If the underground sewer itself is blocked, then clear it by sticking a set
of rods down it or get a firm to jet the sewer - if a collapsed sewer is
causing the problem, then that's a different 'ball game' to cure.

All the above presumes that the blockage is on your property, if not, then
you will have to either deal with your neighbours to get them to clear it or
contact the local authority to sort it out.

Warining. Don't eat just before you do this job or you may well be adding
to the mess :-)

Hope this is of help?

An old mop. The ones with the string style head are the best, but you can
use one with those cloth type heads as well. Fill the loo half way with
water then plunge it hard with the mop. This usually gives enough pressure
to clear blockages like a loo roll centre, with other things trapped behind
it, out of the pipework

What's gone down the loo to cause the blockage?

If it's just a big ol' log I find simply putting a scoop of washing
powder (or crumbling up a washing powder cube) loosens things off enough
to flush away if left for a number of hours.

Fill a bucket with water.



Stand on a chair and dump, as fast as
possibile, into the bowl. Try to achieve the maximum height possible.
Takes courage, but often works.


It certainly would ;-)

Take courage, or work??? :-)

I've used this, with success, on numerous occasions. Does depend how bad
the blockage actually is, of course.

THis advice is, I hope, given on the assumption that the blocakage has
not caused the bowl to remain full of water from the cistern
????????????? :-))))

Sorry Bob. That wasn't what I meant. Separate the "Fill bucket with

Anyway.... moving right along..... ;-)

LOL! Unfortunate choice of words, there!

I suppose an alternate method would be...

1) Consume several curries
2) Seal self to bowl with gaffer tape
3) Let go!

Can't beat the old bent coathanger IMO.

"Stand on a chair and dump"

Thats probably what caused the blockage in the first place!

The local police station had all its toilet bowls stolen. The police still
have nothing to go on.
