Clogged Toilet Repair

Why Are Your Toilets Constantly Clogging?

Toilets clog for a ton of different reasons and knowing what some of them are, can be a great way to avoid the problem altogether. Common causes include:

Excess Toilet Paper

Your mom always told you, a little can go a long way. But if you have little ones, you can quickly find yourself with a huge wad of toilet paper blocking the flow of water in your toilet.

Clogged P Trap

Toilets are designed to remove waste water quickly through the reverse pressure that’s created in the P trap, which is the curved plumbing behind your toilet. If there is a blockage in this spot, your toilet won’t drain until it’s clear.

Mechanical Issues

The tank behind your toilet houses all the mechanical components that make flushing your toilet possible. If they’re damaged you won’t be able to drain your toilet or refill it either.

Old Plumbing

If your plumbing is old, then the clog issues may stem from an even deeper issue in your piping. Old pipes have more debris in them and can also be brittle, preventing water from flowing properly.

In most cases, these issues can be solved with a plunger, which creates enough pressure to blast the blockage through. Your best bet is to always avoid using harmful chemicals, and in worst case scenarios trust a plumber.

Our plumbers have quality tools that are designed specifically to remove blockages from your toilet. When you can’t beat that stubborn clog, give us a call and get the help you need.
