Sometimes the cause of a slow draining toilet is more complex than a local clog in the toilet. There could be a blockage further down the line of your sewerage system. A sewer blockage is much more difficult to clear and requires a licensed local plumber.

Common causes of blocked sewers include a build-up of congealed grease that has gone down the kitchen sink, wet-wipes, sanitary items or tree roots that have entered through a crack or loose joint in the pipe. A sewer may also clog if the pipes have collapsed, bellied or sagged.

We do not recommend that homeowners attempt DIY blocked sewer repairs because their efforts it will be futile. If the sewer blockage is caused by an old pipe that has collapsed under the ground, no amount of plunging or drain cleaner chemicals will remedy the issue. The longer the sewer remains blocked, the worse the problem will get.

The worst part is they always seem to happen at the most inopportune times; when you have friends or family coming to stay, you’re throwing a party and the guests are about to arrive, or in the middle of the footy grand final and your favorite team is playing.

A toilet that is backing up is a very unhygienic problem. A toilet backup can be defined as a toilet that fills with water and overflows with dirty sewage when the flush is pressed. This means there is a clog somewhere in the line preventing the water and waste from traveling through the sewerage pipes. Alternatively, the toilet may be very slow to drain. The water level rises when flushed but then it goes down again slowly. This means there is a blockage in the line but it’s not absolute. There is still a small amount of room for the sewerage to get through.

Either of these situations could be the result of one of two things. The first is a clog in the S-bend or in the pipes immediately attached to the toilet drain opening. The second possibility is that there is a main sewer line clog.

If there is a clog in the main sewer line, no amount of instructions on how to unblock the toilet will suffice. This is because blocked sewers are complex and require particular tools to repair Your best option is to call a local blocked drain plumber as soon as possible. It is likely a blocked main sewer if:

• You notice multiple drains around the home are slow to drain
• There is a bad smell coming out of multiple drains
