A blocked drain is inconvenient and disrupts your everyday activities. Sometimes, these clogs have an easy and quick fix while others require a plumber. It can be difficult to determine when a plumber is required.

when to call a plumber for blocked toilet

You can unclog the drain using several do-it-yourself approaches. You should contact a plumber if it does not work. Here are some signs that it's time to call a plumber:

Recurring clogs :

Hair, soap, dirt, food, and mineral buildup that are rinsed off during baths are all major reasons of clogged drains in your showers, tubs and toilets. Though you clear the junk out of the drain or pour a professional drain cleaner, the build-up might be difficult to handle by yourself. If the clogging persists for a month, it’s time to get a professional to fix the clog.

Multiple clogs :

When you spot a clog, it’s recommended to look out for any other clogs around the house. If there are clogs in other places, there is very little you can do without specialised equipment and professional assistance.

No equipment / Equipment won’t work:

Drain snakes and plungers are useful tools for clearing clogged toilet and shower drains. If you don't have those, don't use anything else that could damage your piping system. Even if you have a drain snake or a plunger, if the obstruction is severe, it is unlikely to work.

In such situations, it is preferable to hire a professional plumber.

Foul smell:

As a result of the build-up in the drain pipe creating the odour, foul odours are frequently an indication of major clogging concerns. Don't put it off any longer; call a plumber right away.

If any of the above signs can be seen, call Inspired Plumbing and get $0 callout fee when booked before 5pm. Our blocked drain services start from $79.

    Most Frequently Asked Questions

    You Have A Pipe That Is Leaking Or Has Burst
    If a pipe bursts, before calling an after hours plumber, make sure you immediately move anything of value in the water’s path to a higher floor, garage, or out into the garden. If it’s minor, locate the leak and wrap it with rags or duct tape. Place a bucket underneath. Then call us.
    Your Kitchen Sink Drain Is Backed Up
    You’ve probably already tried using a plunger or auger to pull out the clog. So, it’s time to call our after hours plumber service. While you wait for us, please resist the urge to use a corrosive drain opener, as they are toxic and can actually make the problem worse. Hang in there and we’ll be there soon!
    Your Water Heater Only Puts Out Cold Water
    This is a classic ‘call-a-plumber’ job – you don’t want to take this one on yourself. There are some DIY things you can do with your water heater as routine maintenance.

    However, getting too involved with this appliance can expose you to natural gas or electricity - either of which can be deadly. Not to mention the risk of an exploding hot water heater. It’s not worth it, simply call us and a licensed and experience plumber will be there before you know it!
    There’s No Water In Your Home
    A no-water situation probably could be caused by the municipal water line to your home (or your well, if you have one). Call us as we might already know of any water outages in your area. If we don’t know of one, we’ll call Sydney water whilst we’re on the way. You can rest easy knowing as soon as you’ve put the phone down, we’re sending an emergency plumber to help you.
    Your Toilet Is Blocked And Starting To Overflow
    Try to pull out the clog with a plunger. If this doesn’t work, though, call us. You probably need a professional to deal with this messy business. We’re familiar with the hidden places where toilet clogs build, and we’ve got the equipment to have it cleared in a jiffy.
    You Have A Leaky Water Heater
    If your water heater has a leaky valve, you could be wasting a lot of money on water heating when all that’s needed is a replacement valve. If corrosion has damaged the water heater wall, though, it might be time for a replacement. A leak can cause property damage, so, as soon as you notice it, call us, your emergency plumber, ASAP. We’ll fix the problem, whatever it takes!
