Signs your blocked toilet needs a plumber
Plunging hasn’t cleared it
The blockage may need specialist equipment to remove.
Something has been flushed accidentally
Toys, wipes and sanitary products can become lodged in the toilet or drain.
Other drains are backing up
Slow showers, gurgling drains or an overflowing outdoor gully may indicate a blockage further along the sewer line.
The toilet gurgles or bubbles
This can indicate a drainage or venting problem that needs investigating.
The blockage keeps returning
Recurring blockages can be caused by a trapped object, tree roots, damaged pipework or a problem with the toilet’s flush.
Water is leaking around the base
A leak at the base needs checking, particularly if it happens when you flush.
What affects the cost of clearing a blocked toilet?
We assess the problem and explain the recommended work. You receive a price to approve before we begin.
The cause of the blockage
A paper blockage may be simpler to clear than a lodged toy or other solid object.
Where the blockage is
The obstruction may be inside the toilet or further along the sewer pipe.
Access to the blockage
Some jobs require the toilet to be removed to retrieve an object or access the pipework.
Whether further work is needed

Blocked toilet questions
Have another question? Call 0448 984 771 – we’re happy to help.
Will a blocked toilet clear itself?
A minor toilet paper blockage may soften and clear, but don’t keep flushing to test it. If the water stays high, the blockage returns or you suspect a solid object is stuck, call a plumber.
Can I use a drain snake on a toilet?
A purpose-made toilet auger can help with some blockages. A standard drain snake can scratch the bowl if used incorrectly. If a toilet plunger hasn’t worked, we can assess the blockage and use suitable equipment to clear it.
Why does my toilet keep blocking?
Repeated blockages can be caused by excess paper, wipes, a trapped object, a weak flush or problems further along the sewer line. We can investigate the cause and explain what’s needed to reduce the chance of it happening again.
Can you come today?
We offer same-day service across Melton and Melbourne’s west, subject to availability. Call us directly so we can confirm our earliest available time.
Can flushable wipes block a toilet?
Yes. Even wipes labelled “flushable” can contribute to blockages. Put wipes in the bin and only flush human waste and toilet paper.
My toddler flushed a toy. What now?
Stop flushing and avoid pushing tools into the toilet, as this can lodge the toy further in. Call us to assess it. Depending on where the toy is stuck, we may need to remove the toilet to retrieve it.
