  1. W H A T T O D O I F   T H E T O I L E T W O N ’ T F L U S H YOUR TOILET IS USED EVERY DAY, SO YOU NEED IT TO FLUSH, TIME AND TIME AGAIN WITHOUT FAIL. UNFORTUNATELY, THE TOILET CAN CLOG, WHICH ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT THE MOST INCONVENIENT TIME, AND IF YOUR TOILET IS STARTING TO OVERFLOW, IT’S EVEN WORSE.YOU MAY NEED TO CALL EMERGENCY PLUMBERS. Stop it at the source If your toilet has started to overflow you need to stop the flow of water coming from the toilet. In most bathrooms, the best place to find this is at the toilets main shutoff valve. You can often see the water line from your toilet to the bathroom wall; there will be a handle located along the line. If you don’t see a handle, it could mean that your valve has been placed below your floor tiles or behind a wall. If this is the case when your emergency plumber arrives you may need to talk to them about rectifying this for you. Other than shutting the water to your house at the main water valve, the only way to stop the flooding is to turn off the toilets shutoff valve. If this doesn’t work If your toilet is still overflowing and you can’t get to the shutoff valve, you need to open the cistern. Remove the lid on top of the cistern and check the flapper. If the flapper is open, reach in and close it manually – this should stop the flow of water. If the flapper isn’t open, or it won’t stay closed manually, find the float ball. This is the part that floats on top of the water to stop the cistern from filling at a certain level. If you lift the float ball to the top of the tank, the water will shut off. Fixing the clog Now the flooding has stopped, it’s time to look at the clog. The best way to tackle this is to use a plunger. If you are unable to remove the clog utilising the plunger you need to call in an emergency plumber and have a professional look at the issue and get it sorted for you. The blockage may be somewhere in the sewerage line and could be anything from tree root damage to just a blockage of toilet paper.
