Blocked Toilet Plumbers in Perth

For a soft blockage you can try a good quality toilet plunger - fit it firmly over the outlet, press down slowly to push out the air, then pump 10–15 times before pulling up. A toilet auger (closet snake) is more effective for harder blockages. Avoid harsh chemical drain cleaners in toilets, as they can damage the porcelain, seals and pipework. If the toilet won't flush after a couple of attempts, the bowl keeps filling, or water is rising, stop and call a licensed plumber before it overflows.

A toilet that keeps clogging usually means there's a deeper problem than a one-off blockage. The most common causes are flushing wet wipes, baby wipes, paper towels, sanitary products or nappies, a partial blockage of build-up further down the soil pipe, tree roots in the sewer, a damaged or sagging pipe, or a low-flush cistern that doesn't deliver enough water. A CCTV drain camera inspection is the fastest way to find out exactly what's going on so it can be fixed properly.

The cost of unblocking a toilet in Perth depends on what's causing the blockage and how far down the line it sits. A simple toilet plunge or auger clear is at the lower end, while a job that needs an electric drain machine, high-pressure water jetter or a CCTV camera inspection costs more.

Yes - a blocked toilet that's overflowing, backing up sewage into the shower or floor waste, or is the only toilet in the home should be treated as an emergency. As well as the obvious mess, raw sewage is a serious health and hygiene risk and can damage floors, walls and skirting if it isn't cleaned up quickly. A Team Plumbing and Gas offers 24-hour emergency blocked toilet service across Perth — day, night, weekends and public holidays. Call (08) 6118 6883 anytime.

Most blocked toilets are cleared within 30–60 minutes from arrival once our plumber has assessed the cause. Simple blockages near the pan can often be cleared in under half an hour with a plunger or auger. Deeper blockages in the sewer line that need an electric drain machine, water jetter or CCTV inspection can take a little longer. We aim to attend most Perth jobs same-day, and once we're on site you'll get a clear time and price estimate before we start.

A very minor blockage - such as too much toilet paper - can sometimes break up and clear on its own after an hour or two, especially with the help of warm water. However, most blockages caused by wet wipes, foreign objects, tree roots or pipe damage will not clear themselves and will usually get worse with each flush. If your toilet is still blocked after one or two flushes, don't keep flushing - you risk an overflow. Call a professional toilet plumber to clear it properly.
