Two Cosby toilet blockages caused by dislodged rim fresheners

These photographs show two separate plumbing call-outs in Cosby with the same avoidable cause: a plastic toilet rim freshener had become dislodged, entered the toilet trap and caused a blockage.

What we found

The plumbing fault

Clip-on toilet fresheners and rim blocks can lodge inside the trap or move further into the waste pipe. Repeated flushing may make retrieval more difficult.

What AFS did

Diagnosis and repair

On each visit, AFS located and removed the obstruction so the toilet could flush and drain correctly again. These are two genuine Cosby call-outs, not before-and-after photographs from one job.

Useful guidance

What to watch for

Where possible, choose products that cannot fall into the bowl. If a holder disappears into the toilet, avoid flushing again and arrange professional removal before it travels further.
