Dealing with a
clogged toilet can be messy and stinky. It can also be highly inconvenient due to the
fact that you may not be able to use the toilet until the problem is resolved.
Toilets can get clogged for a number of reasons, and learning more about
these various reasons can help you to minimize the chance that you may
have to deal with a clogged toilet in the near future.
How You Use the Toilet
A common reason why clogs develop in toilets is because of how they are
used. When too much waste is flushed at one time, the toilet cannot properly
dispose of the waste.
In addition, flushing feminine hygiene products down some toilets can result
in a clog, and accidentally flushing items that are dropped into the toilet
by accident can cause a clog in some cases.
Issues With the Toilet
While how you use the toilet could cause a clog, some toilets are simply
more prone to developing clogs than others. For example, if a toilet has
low water flow, the amount of water and the force of the water may not
be enough to flush even a small amount of waste away. Some toilets are
broken, and flushing the toilet
may not result in a complete flushing process. This is a repair issue that
would need to be addressed.
How to Prevent Clogs
There are a few different ways to prevent clogs in your toilets. First,
you should pay attention to the amount of waste that your toilets can
handle, and you may need to flush multiple times in some cases. You should
also only put items into the toilet that the toilet is designed to flush
away. If the toilet has an issue with low water pressure or if the toilet
is broken in some way, repair service should be scheduled with a plumber.
Preventing clogs can be helpful, but you may currently have a clogged toilet
that requires service. Clogs can be messy to deal with on your own, and
your own efforts may not always resolve the situation. If you have a clog
in your toilet, set up an appointment for repair service with a plumber today.
This is the fastest and easiest way to remove the clog, and the plumber
may also be able to make adjustments to the toilet to reduce the chance
of a clog developing in the future.
