Reasons Why the Toilet Keeps Clogging

Nothing kills the mood faster than a clogged toilet. After all, who wants to deal with plumbing problems in the middle of a candlelit dinner or romantic plans? However, homeowners can help prevent toilet clogs with a few simple tips including:

Homeowners Should Be Mindful of What They Flush

careful about what gets flushedThe EPA notes that homeowners should only flush toilet paper down a toilet––and nothing else. Even if a wipe claims to be “flushable,” it could eventually cause a nasty obstruction, causing overflowing toilets and other headaches.

People should dispose of these items in the trash:

  • Paper towels
  • Cigarette butts
  • Menstruation products
  • Toxic substances, like batteries
  • Medications
  • Baby wipes and diapers
  • Dental floss
  • Food residue
  • Condoms
  • Cotton balls

If one has to ask: “Is it safe to flush this?” then chances are, they shouldn’t. Even flushing one of these items on the list above could cause a plumbing emergency in the form of toilet clogs, sewer line clogs, or clogs that can cause burst pipes.

Residents and Guests Should Use or Flush Less Toilet Paper

use less toilet paperFlushing too much toilet paper at once is another common cause of clogging and can lead to serious plumbing issues. Homeowners should exercise caution when disposing of toilet paper by using less or flushing multiple times as they go instead of just once at the end. Doing so will reduce the chance of a clog and help keep pipes in good condition. This makes it easier for the toilet to process waste and send it into the sewer.

It is also important to note that it is best to avoid using thick, two-ply toilet paper as this can be more likely to cause a clog. If homeowners are unsure about the amount or type of toilet paper that is safe to flush for their system, they can check with a local plumber for advice on what would be best for their particular plumbing system. By being mindful of the amount of toilet paper used and flushing appropriately, homeowners can reduce their chances of a clog and save time and money in the long run.

Homeowners Can Do Their Part and Prevent Sewer Line Clogs

When it comes to keeping the toilets from clogging, preventing a clogged sewer line is key. If the sewer line becomes blocked with debris, this can cause toilets in the home to become clogged more easily and often, and require more frequent maintenance.

One of the best ways to prevent a clogged sewer line is through professional drain cleaning services. This involves having a professional use specialized equipment to dislodge and remove any accumulated debris within the sewer line. The plumber may also be able to identify any potential problems with the plumbing system that may lead to clogs in the future, so they can be addressed before becoming an issue.

It is important to note that when it comes to a sewer line issue, it should only be handled by a professional plumber. Trying to address the problem without proper knowledge and experience can cause more damage, which could be expensive to repair. Seeking professional help from an experienced plumber is the best way to ensure that a plumbing system remains in good condition for years to come.
