Blocked Toilet
Clearing a blocked toilet can be rather difficult without the knowledge or the appropriate tools. Blocked toilets often create a water blockage in the bowl which will cause the water level to rise and sometimes even overflow on to the floor. This will cause an unpleasant smell in the bathroom as well as pose a health hazard to you. The health risks associated with toilet water can be read about on health.gov.au website. It states “all faulty (blocked, damaged, broken or worn-out) parts must be mended as soon as possible after they stop working correctly”
You can count on us to arrive promptly, assess the issue thoroughly, and offer a solution that’s tailored to your specific needs. So let our expert plumbers get your blocked toilet running again. We offer a fast and convenient plumbing service.
Dealing with Blocked toilet?
Absolutely! Blocked toilets can be an extremely frustrating and inconvenient problem for any homeowner or tenant. Some common causes of blocked toilets in Sydney include flushing inappropriate items down the toilet, such as wet wipes, feminine hygiene products, or excessive amounts of toilet paper. Tree roots can also grow into sewer lines, causing blockages that can lead to slow draining or complete blockages.
It’s essential to address the issue as soon as possible to prevent further damage and potential health hazards. Attempting to fix the problem yourself can actually worsen the situation, leading to more extensive and costly repairs down the line.
That’s where Safeguard plumbers can come to the aid. Our team of professional plumbers have the knowledge, tools, and expertise to diagnose and fix blocked toilets quickly and effectively. We use advanced plumbing cameras and CCTV drain inspection cameras to see exactly what’s causing your blocked or slow draining toilet. 🎥🚽👨🔧
This technology allows us to provide our customers with video footage of the problem and discuss how to unblock the toilet in the most effective way. Pipe inspections are also a great way to identify future plumbing problems before they arise. 🔍🚽🚧
We also offer high-pressure jet blasting to unclog blocked toilets fast and effectively. Our jet blasters come with a range of different cutting heads that are capable of breaking down all types of sediment buildup. Once the toilet blockage is loosened, a high-pressure jet of water is sent down to flush out the line. Jet blasters are the most effective tool to unclog badly blocked toilets fast. 💦🚀🚽

🪠Plunger: Use a plunger to create suction and dislodge the blockage. Make sure there’s enough water in the bowl to cover the head of the plunger, then push and pull the plunger vigorously for several seconds.
🐍Drain snake: If the plunger doesn’t work, try using a drain snake. Insert the snake into the toilet drain and turn the handle to push it through the blockage. You may need to twist the snake to help it break up the blockage.
🧪Chemical drain cleaner: You can also try using a chemical drain cleaner to dissolve the blockage. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully and use caution, as these chemicals can be harmful.
❌If none of these methods work or if you’re uncomfortable attempting to unblock the toilet yourself, it’s best to call Safeguard plumbers to safely and effectively remove the blockage.👨🔧
There could be a number of reasons why your toilet is draining slowly. Here are some common causes and potential solutions:
💩 Clogged drain: This is one of the most common reasons for a slow-draining toilet. Over time, debris such as hair, soap scum, and toilet paper can build up in the drain and cause a blockage. To fix this, try using a plunger to dislodge the blockage. If that doesn’t work, you may need to use a drain snake or call a plumber.
🚽 Low water level: If the water level in your toilet bowl is too low, it may not be able to create enough suction to fully flush the contents of the bowl. To fix this, you can adjust the float valve in the toilet tank or check if the water supply valve is fully open.
🩹 Faulty flapper: The flapper is the rubber seal at the bottom of the toilet tank that controls the release of water into the bowl during a flush. If the flapper is damaged or worn out, it may not create enough suction to properly flush the toilet. To fix this, replace the flapper.
🌬️ Blocked vent pipe: The vent pipe is responsible for allowing air to flow into the drain system, which helps prevent clogs and allows water to flow freely. If the vent pipe is blocked, it can cause slow draining or gurgling noises in the toilet. To fix this, you may need to climb onto the roof and clear out any debris or blockages from the vent pipe.
👨🔧 If none of these solutions work or if you’re unsure of what’s causing the problem, it’s best to call a plumber to diagnose and fix the issue.
Blocked Pipe
Have you noticed any unusual pooling of water on your property, stormwater pits or down pipes that are overflowing during a storm or a toilet that drains slowly? If you have noticed this you may have tree roots that have damaged your pipes and will need to be cleared to prevent further damage.
Safeguard Plumbers offer a sewer and stormwater pipe cleaning service. We use a high-pressure water machine that we will send down the drain to clear out whatever has caused the blockage.
Blocked Pipe FAQs
If you encounter a blockage in a pipe, the first step is to turn off the water supply to prevent any further damage or flooding. 🛑💦
Next, try using a plunger or drain snake to dislodge the blockage. 🚽🐍 If these methods don’t work, it’s best to contact a professional plumber to assess the situation and determine the best course of action. 📞👨🔧
Avoid using chemical drain cleaners as they can damage the pipes and harm the environment. ♻️🚫
Regular maintenance and cleaning of your pipes can help prevent blockages from occurring in the first place. 💪👨🔧
Accessing pipes to resolve plumbing issues depends on the location and extent of the problem. Sometimes, pipes can be accessed through cleanouts or inspection points located near the main sewer line. This allows plumbers to inspect and clean the pipes without having to dig up the ground.
However, if the issue is more extensive, accessing the pipes may require more invasive and time-consuming methods such as digging up the ground or removing walls or floors to reach the affected area.
If you’re experiencing a plumbing issue that requires access to the pipes, it’s best to contact a professional plumber. At Safeguard Plumbing, we have the tools and expertise to handle all types of plumbing issues while minimizing disruption to your property. 🛠️💦🚽
When attempting to access pipes, our first approach is to locate the inspection opening (IO) on top of the sewer shaft riser. This opening is located outside the house and has a diameter of 100mm, making it easier to work with. By looking through the IO, we can determine whether the blockage is on the Council side or the owner’s side of the property. Additionally, the jetter is more effective in this situation as it flushes the debris downstream and into the council system.
If the IO is not available, we’ll search for other entry points outside the house, such as an outside gully or vent. If these options aren’t available, we may have to search inside the house for a floor waste grate or toilet. However, this approach can create a mess, which is why we always use the most efficient and least invasive methods possible.
At Safeguard Plumbing, we strive to make the process of accessing pipes and resolving plumbing issues as seamless as possible for our customers. So, if you need help with any plumbing issues, don’t hesitate to give us a call!

Yes, there are steps you can take to help prevent blocking your drains. Here are some tips to help avoid blockages:
- Be mindful of what you flush down the toilet – Avoid flushing anything other than human waste and toilet paper down the toilet. Items such as wet wipes, feminine hygiene products, and paper towels can easily cause blockages.
- Use a drain strainer – Place a drain strainer over the plug hole in your sink or shower to catch hair, soap scum, and other debris that can accumulate and cause blockages.
- Dispose of cooking grease properly – Never pour cooking oil or grease down the drain, as it can solidify and create blockages.
- Regularly clean your drains – Pouring boiling water down your drains can help loosen any buildup and keep them clear. You can also use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar to help clear any blockages.
Despite taking these preventative measures, blockages can still occur. If you experience a persistent blockage, it’s best to call Safeguard plumbers to safely and effectively remove the blockage. 🚰💦👨🔧
