Use a flange plunger with firm, rhythmic pressure — 10-15 strokes will often clear a standard blockage. Alternatively pour dish soap and hot (not boiling) water from waist height, leave for 10 minutes, then flush.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I call a plumber for a blocked toilet in Melbourne?
Call a plumber if the blockage does not clear after several plunger attempts, if multiple fixtures are draining slowly simultaneously, if sewage is backing up into other fixtures, or if the toilet has overflowed.
What commonly blocks toilets in Melbourne homes?
Common causes include excess toilet paper, wet wipes (even those labelled flushable), hygiene products, and in older Melbourne properties, tree root intrusion or a partially collapsed drain.
