Effective Solutions for Blocked Toilets
Unblocking a toilet might seem straight forward but not all blockages are created equal. Our expert team will quickly identify the cause and use the right method to restore proper flow. The most common causes of blocked toilets we encounter include:
- Excess toilet paper
- Baby wipes and "flushable" wipes
- Sanitary products
- Children’s toys
- Dental floss and hair
- Tree root invasion
- Collapsed or cracked pipes
- Paper towels, nappies or foreign objects
Using professional grade tools, we ensure the problem is solved completely not just pushed further down the line. Our team is equipped with the latest technology to clear blockages effectively and prevent future issues.
Signs Your Toilet Might Be Blocked
You don’t need a plumber to tell you when something’s off with your toilet. But catching the early warning signs can help avoid bigger headaches later.
Watch out for:
- Bad smells coming from the toilet bowl
- Water backing up in nearby drains when the toilet is flushed
- Gurgling or bubbling sounds after flushing
- Obvious foreign objects flushed by accident
- Toilet water rising high or draining too slowly
If these sound familiar, get in touch before the toilet overflows or your sewer line backs up. Early intervention can save you from expensive repairs and prevent further damage to your plumbing system.
The Risks of Ignoring a Blocked Toilet
Letting a toilet blockage go unchecked can lead to:
- Overflows and water damage to floors, walls, and nearby rooms
- Health risks from exposure to raw sewage and bacteria
- Increased pressure on your pipes, risking cracks or burst drains
- Costly repairs if the problem moves deeper into the sewer line
What starts as a slow flush could quickly become a major plumbing disaster. Don’t wait, our licensed blocked toilet plumbers in Brisbane can fix it today.
What To Do When Your Toilet Won’t Flush
If your toilet is blocked, the worst thing you can do is keep flushing. This often causes the bowl to overflow, creating an even bigger mess and increasing the risk of water damage to your bathroom floor. Flushing won’t fix the problem, it will only push more water into an already clogged pipe, potentially making the blockage worse and harder to clear.
Instead, follow these tips:
- Avoid using drain cleaning chemicals – they’re corrosive and can damage older or PVC pipework
- Never insert coat hangers, makeshift tools, or anything sharp into the drain – it can damage the trap or push the blockage deeper
- Don’t attempt DIY if you're unsure – incorrect handling could worsen the problem or create a health hazard
What to do: Turn off the water supply at the isolation valve behind the toilet to prevent further overflow. Then call Weekend Plumbing Co. on 0482 979 551 – we’ll respond fast and get things flowing again safely and professionally.
How We Clear a Blocked Toilet
We use several tried-and-true methods, depending on the location and cause of the clog:
- Plunger or closet auger for simple blockages near the bowl
- Electric eel to break up debris deeper in the pipe
- High-pressure water jetting for clearing stubborn or recurring blockages
- CCTV drain cameras to inspect more serious issues like tree roots or cracked pipes
We’ll explain the issue clearly, fix it promptly, and provide honest advice if future prevention or repairs are needed.

I had Tom from Weekend Plumbing Co. come out this morning, and I couldn’t be happier. From the moment I booked the appointment, the communication was smooth and friendly. Tom arrived on time, was professional, and took the time to explain what needed to be done before getting started. The quality of the work was excellent — efficient, thorough, and tidy. I would definitely recommend Weekend Plumbing Co. to anyone looking for reliable and top-notch plumbing service!

Tom came out to assess our blocked kitchen drains, he went above and beyond to ensure the sink was draining before he left. Even though we couldn’t afford the whole works required today, the quote was reasonable but out of my budget this week - he went to work with his plunger and made sure the sink was draining to see us through the next couple of weeks until we book in for repairs and maintenance. Really polite and punctual, highly recommend this business, especially grateful for Tom’s help today!
