Kearns Emergency PlumbingBlocked, overflowing or running
Blocked and broken toilets
A blocked toilet cleared, an overflow stopped or a toilet that won't stop running fixed, usually inside the first hour.
If it's happening now
A toilet problem
Can it wait?Once you've done the steps above, this can wait a few hours if you'd rather. A daytime visit costs less.
- Don't flush again. If it's overflowing, lift the cistern lid and hold the float up, or turn the valve on the pipe into the cistern a quarter.
- For a blockage, try a plunger with the bowl half full: firm, steady pushes, not stabs. Never mix bleach with a drain cleaner.
- If it won't stop running, turn off the valve on the pipe into the cistern, or the stop tap.
If it's your only toilet, or sewage is coming up anywhere else, call now.

Questions
Is it cheaper to wait until morning?
Yes, if you have another toilet. The daytime rate is lower, and a blocked toilet won't get worse overnight if nobody flushes it.
