Useful answers
Toilets & sinks questions.
Should I keep flushing a blocked toilet?
No. Repeated flushing can cause the bowl to overflow. Keep the toilet out of use and call for advice, especially if dirty water is backing up elsewhere.
Why does my shower gurgle when the toilet flushes?
Connected drains can affect each other when air or water cannot move freely through the pipes. Mention this when you call because it can help narrow down where the blockage is.
Can MelOne help with a commercial sink blockage?
We help homes and small businesses. Tell us what type of property it is, which drain is blocked and how the problem is affecting you so we can confirm whether we can help and when we are available.
