How to Reduce the Risk of Toilet Drain Problems

The cost of clearing a blocked toilet commonly ranges from around $150 to $500+, depending on how difficult the blockage is to access, how far it extends into the drain system, and the equipment required to clear it.

One of the simplest ways to reduce the risk of toilet drain problems is to avoid flushing items that do not belong in the plumbing system.

Never flush:

✔ Baby wipes and cleaning wipes
✔ Paper towels and tissues
✔ Cotton buds and cotton balls
✔ Sanitary products and tampons
✔ Nappies and pull-ups
✔ Dental floss
✔ Hair and grooming products
✔ Medication and tablets

If your toilet starts draining slowly, backing up, or requiring repeated flushing, it is worth arranging an inspection before the blockage becomes more difficult and expensive to remove.
