How do I know if my toilet is blocked?
A toilet block can go unnoticed for longer than you'd think. Knowing the signs helps prevent property damage.
Slow water draining
Water draining slowly from the bowl could mean a bigger problem in the sewer line.
Strange sounds
Gurgling noises from the toilet bowl or drains can mean air is trapped in the pipes.
Smelly odours
Standing water and trapped debris cause bad smells similar to rotten eggs.
This is a general guideline — if you suspect a blocked drain issue on your property, get in touch with our team right away.

Clearing all toilet blockages: our process
- 1
CCTV drain inspection
Real-time footage of the drain's interior shows us the cause and extent of the blockage, so we can choose the best approach.
- 2
High pressure water jetting
A non-invasive jet nozzle clears the block fast — we've removed everything from tree roots to compacted debris this way.
- 3
Additional repairs (if needed)
For hard-to-reach blocks we use extra tools like a drain snake, manually inserted to cut through any standing blockage.
- 4
Final evaluation
A follow-up CCTV check confirms the drain's condition. If any blocks linger, we make the needed repairs before we leave.

How to keep your toilet running smoothly
Plumbing maintenance doesn't stop at a repair — take the right steps to keep your toilets operating smoothly.
Follow the Three Ps rule
Only flush pee, poo and (toilet) paper. Keep a bin in the bathroom for sanitary products and wet wipes.

Blocked toilet FAQs
Common blocked toilet questions, answered by our Melbourne plumbers.
Why is my toilet still clogged after I use a plunger?
For small blockages, try pouring more water into the toilet — adjusting the water level can help the plunger suction better. If that doesn't work, the block likely needs professional clearing.
Is there anything I shouldn't try to unblock my toilet?
Avoid inserting sharp objects into the toilet — they can damage the pipes. For any stubborn blocked toilet, it's safest to turn to our team instead.
Can you handle blocked toilets in offices and homes?
Yes we can. Whether it's a small or large toilet problem, we work fast to restore smooth operation with little to no disruption to your home or workplace.
What do I do if my toilet keeps getting blocked?
Repeat blockages can signal a bigger problem, such as a sewer line issue. We'll complete a thorough inspection and take the time to make sure no blocks are left behind.
