Signs of a Blocked Toilet – When to Call a Plumber

A blocked toilet can go from bad to worse quickly. If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s time to call a Brisbane plumber:

  • Toilet water rises too high or drains too slowly after flushing
  • Gurgling or bubbling sounds from the drain
  • Bad odours coming from the toilet bowl
  • Water backing up in other drains when flushing
  • Complete toilet blockage—won’t flush at all

Ignoring these issues can lead to sewage backups, water damage, and costly repairs. Our Brisbane toilet blockage removal experts are available 24/7 to clear blockages fast.

Why You Should NEVER Flush Wet Wipes – Even “Flushable” Ones

Wet wipes are one of the biggest causes of toilet and sewer blockages. Even if they are labelled as "flushable," they do not break down like toilet paper and can lead to major plumbing issues.

How Wet Wipes Impact Toilets & Sewers

  • They don’t dissolve like toilet paper – Instead, they stay intact and clog pipes.
  • They bind with grease and fat – This creates massive blockages known as "fatbergs."
  • They damage wastewater systems – Councils spend millions yearly removing wet wipe clogs.
  • They increase repair costs – Homeowners face expensive plumbing repairs from wipes causing blockages.

Quick Fact:

Flushing just one wet wipe per day can build up over time, leading to severe blockages that require professional removal.

What Else Causes a Blocked Toilet?

Blocked toilets happen for many reasons. Some of the most common include:

Too Much Toilet Paper – Large amounts of paper can clog pipes, especially in older plumbing systems.
Wet Wipes & Sanitary Items – As we’ve mentioned above, unlike toilet paper, these do not break down and can cause serious blockages.
Foreign Objects – Toys, nappies, and other non-flushable items can get stuck in the drain.
Tree Root Intrusions – Roots grow into underground pipes, leading to slow drainage and full blockages.
Pipe Damage or Misalignment – Cracked or shifted pipes can trap debris and prevent proper flushing.

Our toilet blockage removal service in Brisbane can handle any clog—no matter the cause.

How We Fix Blocked Toilets in Brisbane

We follow a proven process to ensure a complete and long-lasting fix for blocked toilets.

1. Inspection & Diagnosis

Our plumbers start with a thorough inspection to determine the location and cause of the blockage. For deeper issues, we use CCTV drain cameras to see inside the pipes.

2. Plunger & Auger Unblocking

For minor blockages, we use specialist plungers and toilet augers to clear the clog safely and efficiently.

3. High-Pressure Jetting & Drain Cleaning

If the blockage is stubborn, we use high-pressure water jetting to break through grease, debris, and built-up waste inside the pipes.

4. Pipe Repairs & Preventative Solutions

If the blockage is due to damaged pipes or tree roots, we offer pipe relining and trenchless repair options to fix the problem without excavation.

Common Causes of Blocked Toilets

  • Flushed foreign objects (wipes, sanitary products, excessive toilet paper)
  • Tree root intrusion in underground sewer lines
  • Collapsed or broken pipes
  • Grease or debris buildup
  • Septic tank or sewer main issues

Signs You Have a Blocked Toilet

Blocked toilets often give clear signs that something is wrong. If you notice any of the following symptoms, it’s time to call our Melbourne plumbers for expert toilet unblocking services:

  • Slow Draining Water: If the water in your toilet bowl drains slowly, it’s a sign that the pipes are partially blocked.
  • Overflowing Toilet: An immediate sign of a blockage is when the toilet overflows, causing water to spill over the bowl and onto the floor.
  • Foul Odours: Persistent bad smells coming from the toilet or surrounding bathroom could indicate a blockage or waste buildup.
  • Gurgling Sounds: Unusual gurgling or bubbling sounds from the toilet or drains are often a sign that air is trapped in the pipes due to a clog.
  • Water Rising in the Toilet Bowl: If the water level in your toilet bowl rises higher than usual after flushing, there’s likely a blockage somewhere in the plumbing.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, you may have a blocked toilet or clogged sewer.

Call our Melbourne plumbers or a CCTV Drain Inspection, where we’ll diagnose the issue and leave you with a lasting, clear drain solution.

Common Causes of Blocked Toilets

How We Fix Blocked Toilets in Melbourne

Our toilet blockage solutions in Melbourne are designed to be thorough and effective, ensuring your plumbing system is restored to optimal condition while preventing future blockages.

Assessment & Diagnosis

We begin by carefully inspecting your toilet and plumbing system to determine the cause of the blockage. This may include using a CCTV drain camera to visually inspect deep within the pipes. Identifying the exact cause helps us apply the most effective unblocking method, rather than using a trial-and-error approach that can be costly and time-consuming.

Why this is important: A proper diagnosis ensures that we target the root cause of the issue rather than just treating the symptoms. This prevents repeat blockages and saves you from unnecessary repairs.

Non-Invasive Drain Clearing

Once we determine the cause, we use the best tools and methods to remove the blockage efficiently. This could involve:

  • High-pressure water jetting – Clears out blockages formed by excessive toilet paper, ‘flushable’ wipes, other debris, and tree roots with precision. 
  • Plumbing snakes and augers – Breaks apart solid blockages that plungers can’t handle.
  • Manual removal – In cases where foreign objects have been flushed, we carefully extract them without damaging your plumbing system.

These are tools that are versatile and able to eliminate most types of drain blockages in Melbourne, including stormwater drains.

Why this is valuable: Using professional-grade tools ensures that we completely clear the blockage without harming your pipes, reducing the risk of damage and future plumbing issues.

Repairs & Long-Term Prevention

If the blockage is caused by damaged pipes, tree root intrusion, or structural issues, we provide recommendations for permanent repairs. In cases where pipes are cracked or collapsed, we may suggest drain relining for your Melbourne property to reinforce the pipes without the need for excavation.

Why this matters: Fixing underlying plumbing issues prevents recurring blockages, leaks, and costly emergency repairs in the future. We focus on long-term solutions rather than quick fixes.

Testing & Cleanup

Once the blockage is cleared, we test the toilet by flushing multiple times to ensure proper drainage. If necessary, we also check the surrounding plumbing system for any hidden damage. Finally, we clean up the work area, leaving your bathroom as tidy as we found it.

What you gain: Peace of mind knowing that your toilet is fully operational, hygienic, and blockage-free. Our thorough testing ensures that you won’t have to deal with another clog right after we leave.
