- Every family and household in Adelaide is bound to need the help of professional plumbers at some stage. Plumbers can be the best and worst part of your day. This is because having to call a plumber in the first place is upsetting, as there is something in your household, which is not working efficiently or even properly. However, calling and getting a plumber into your house is the first step to resolving the issue and getting it fixed. There are some ways for you to fix your plumbing situation in your Adelaide home however, if you have the right tools and follow the right steps. Here we will take you through the simple process of unclogging your toilet (something which is an ongoing and common issue in households across Adelaide).
THE FIRST BASIC STEPS:
- 1. When you first notice the clog after flushing your toilet for the first time. Do not proceed to flush the toilet afterwards. This will just make the situation worse as this will pump more water into the toilet bowl. If the first flush does not cause the clogged toilet to overflow, the second flush just might.
- 2. Make sure you are keeping yourself sanitary in this situation, which is notoriously unsanitary. A good, thick pair of rubber gloves should help prevent your hands from being covered in germs.
- 3. Surrounding your toilet with newspaper. This will help soak up the water which may be overflowing from the toilet, or help prevent any splash back from getting onto the floor and making the situation a further mess.
- 4. Ensure your bathroom has itEUR(TM)s fan on, or the window open. Good air ventilation and circulation is a must if you are going to be using any kind of harsh chemicals.
YOUR OPTIONS:
- THE HOT WATER AND DISH SOAP METHOD: Squirt a small amount of dish soap into the toilet bowl. Pour a bucket of hot water into the toilet until it is about 2/3rdEUR(TM)s to half way full. Make sure you pour the hot water from waist level so that it does not splash too much and land on you, causing burns. Allow the water to sit in the toilet for about half an hour so that it might soften whatever is causing the clog.
- PLUNGER METHOD: The plunger method is the best option for any hard objects, which have become stuck in your pipes and cannot be softened with the above method. These objects can sometimes include childrens toys, as we know they can wind up in the strangest places. Make sure you buy a plunger, which is good quality, not the cheap suction style of plungers. These will just cause the water to shoot mack into the toilet bowl instead down and out of the drain.
