Causes of a Clogged Toilet

Toilets clog for several reasons, usually because of partial or complete obstruction in part of the drain system: the toilet trap, the plumbing vent, the main sewer line, or the branch drain line.

Knowing what causes clogged toilets in the first place can help you prevent costly repairs. Common causes of toilet clogs include:

Too much toilet paper
Flushing non-flushable or foreign objects
Worn pipes
Hard water
Older low-flow toilets

Clogged Toilet Solutions in Northern California

Clogged toilets are resolved in one of two ways: drain snaking or hydro jetting.

After an inspection using video pipe technology, we will know exactly what’s causing the blockage and how it should be handled. Remember, using store-bought drain cleaners is not recommended, as overuse can harm your pipes and lead to premature damage.

Snaking

This is essentially augering. We use a drain snake to punch holes through the clog, allowing for easy water flow.

Hydrojetting

For a more thorough clean, we recommend hydrojetting. This method scours pipe walls clean using high pressure water. Give us a call to learn if hydrojetting is what you need!

Preventing Toilet Clogs in the Greater Monterey Bay Area

Like most plumbing issues, the best way to address toilet clogs is through prevention. Are you tired of constant toilet clogs? Are you searching for ways to keep your toilets functioning smoothly? Though a simple DIY fix may unclog your toilet, some cases call for professional help. Our experienced plumbers can eliminate your clog and show you how to prevent toilet clogs from recurring in the future.

A backed-up or overflowing toilet can quickly become a plumbing emergency as it threatens to flood your home. Here’s how to avoid this emergency:

Only flush toilet paper – nothing else.

Avoid flushing large amounts of toilet paper at a time, space it out if needed.

Avoid pouring commercial drain cleaners down the toilet – this is harmful to your pipes.

Replacing Your Toilet in the Area

While it works properly, you probably rarely think about your toilet. However, every toilet eventually reaches the end of its useful life. An old, dysfunctional toilet may lead to unnecessary stress, but when is it time to pull the plug and invest in a new toilet?

Here are some of the more common signs it’s time to install a new toilet:

Cracks

Porcelain toilets will crack over time. It may start out as a hairline fracture, but can lead to water damage if the damage develops.

Frequent clogging

Older toilets may have design issues and present a weak flush. This can lead to frequent blockages.

High water bills

If you notice a steadily increasing water bill, your toilet may be to blame. Newer toilets flush using less water and may be what you need to keep your water bill at a reasonable level.

Benefits of Toilet Replacement

Your old toilet may function properly, but you can still reap huge benefits from installing a new one. Whether you’ve lived in the same place for quite some time or just recently moved into a new home, a new toilet will make your life much easier.

Still on the fence about replacing your old toilet? Consider the following perks of a new, efficient fixture:

Fewer blockages

Stronger flushing

Updated bathroom look

Water savings
