You may have noticed your toilet is slow to drain or fills right to the top if flushed. This is a sign that you have a blocked toilet.
Toilets block for several reasons, the toilet itself can be deteriorating, the drain to the toilet could be blocked with things like tree roots or it could be items entering the toilet that should not be, like excess toilet paper, kids toys, toilet fresheners, “flushable” wipes, needles or sanitary napkins. Sometimes it can also be a sign that your whole house is blocked
Clearing a toilet blockage requires having the right equipment on board and having the right knowledge as to which approach is the best to use. Once we clear your toilet we then investigate as to why the toilet blocked to ensure it does not happen again
Because we know Frankston and have dealt with lots of toilet blockages before, you have the peace of mind knowing your toilet will stay fixed and cleared long after we’ve gone.

Depending on your home and whether it has been renovated or not can depend on what type of toilet you have installed. This can effect how we go about clearing your toilet.
Newer toilets have less tolerance for foreign matter entering the drain like kids toys or fresheners but will typically use less water too.
Older toilets may have been installed for a long time and be blocked with tree roots in the drain or can block from items like sanitary napkins and kids toys as well.
