Our Clogged Toilet Repair Is Quick and Easy
Nothing is quite an unpleasant to handle in a home as a clogged toilet. When a toilet is stopped up, it can create a nasty and smelly mess. If you’re lucky the waste water stays put in the bowl, but if you’re having one of those days you may even have to deal with water overflowing from the commode.
Are toilet clogs preventable?
We hear this question a lot from our customers. The answer is yes! For the most part, a clogged toilet can be prevented. Sometimes there are extenuating circumstances such as a tree root growing into the sewer line and making is hard for anything to pass through to the sewer. However, your average clogged toilet is something that can be prevented by following these suggestions:
- Always make sure you have new toilets professionally installed. Amateur installation can lead to problems not only with frequent backups, but with leaky bases.
- Use toilet paper that is designed for your plumbing system. If you have a septic tank in your backyard, make sure that the paper you buy says it is approved for septic systems. Most major toilet paper brands are septic-safe, but it never hurts to double-check if you’re buying a new brand.
- Use minimal amounts of toilet paper. Too much toilet paper can clogged the trap.
- Anything that is not toilet paper should be kept far away from the toilet and thrown away. This includes tampons, sanitary napkins, facial tissues, baby wipes, paper towels, and disinfectant wipes.
- Consider installing toilet locks if you have small children in the household. This will prevent curious toddlers from flushing their toys and other intriguing items.
If a clog does develop, you can try using a plunger to break it up. Never use drain cleaners. These products are too harsh for residential plumbing systems.
If plunging doesn’t work, call for plumbing service in Santa Paula, CA. Our plumbing pros can utilize drain cleaning technology such as hydro-jetting and make other repairs to get the toilet or toilets in your household up and running again.
