A toilet that will not empty

When enquiring, explain whether the bowl rises after flushing, empties slowly or stays full. Say whether this is the only toilet available. Avoid another flush if the level is rising, and keep people away from any overflowing wastewater.

SouthFlow drainage work and equipment

Look beyond the first affected outlet

Mention a slow sink or an overflowing outside drain at the same address. These symptoms may involve connected pipework, so the enquiry should cover the full problem. Tell us about earlier attempts to clear it, including any products used.

Arrange access for the right part of the drainage

Provide the Southampton postcode and explain any locked gates or managed areas. For rented or communal premises, identify who can arrange access and authorise work. SouthFlow provides 24/7 drainage help from Petersfield; discuss attendance and charges for your situation.

Your Southampton service questions

What should I do if my toilet is blocked?

Avoid flushing again if water is not leaving the bowl. Keep people and pets away from any wastewater overflow. When contacting us, explain whether this is the only usable toilet.

Can the blockage be in the outside drain?

Yes. A restriction further along the drainage route can cause the toilet to back up. Mention other affected toilets, gurgling sinks or outside overflows so the wider pattern is considered.

Why does the toilet keep blocking?

There may be a persistent restriction or an underlying issue further along the drain. Share previous clearance findings and how soon symptoms returned; further investigation may be useful.

Will I need a CCTV survey?

Not every toilet blockage needs a survey. The symptoms, clearance findings and history will help determine whether camera inspection of connected drainage would be useful.

What should I tell you before the visit?

Give the full address, describe the water level and any overflow, and mention products used or items accidentally flushed. Explain any access restrictions and who can authorise the work.

Is help available at night or at weekends?

Yes. SouthFlow provides 24/7 drainage help. Confirm attendance arrangements and charges for your enquiry rather than assuming a particular arrival time.

How much does the work cost?

We quote for the work your property needs. The price depends on the problem, access, preparation and attendance arrangements. When requesting a quote, ask what is included and whether VAT or additional investigation charges apply.
