Save a local 24/7 plumber’s number in your phone before you need it. Your future self (and your bathroom floor) will thank you. Have you successfully unblocked a toilet with a strange method? Or are you currently staring at a full bowl in Mermaid Beach? Drop a comment below (or, you know, call a plumber).

Nothing ruins a relaxing Gold Coast morning quite like flushing the toilet… and watching the water rise up instead of down.
