Tips To Avoid Clogged Toilets

There are ways to never have to deal with another clogged toilet again. Most never think about it, but there are ways to prevent the hassle of a clogged toilet. Clogged toilets can be embarrassing, can cause messes and sometimes costly damage. Calling a plumber for a clogged toilet is a good idea but there are ways to prevent getting the clog in the first place.

In this article, an overview is given on what people need to know about clogged toilets. Preventing a clogged toilet is easy. Sometimes a clogged toilet is nobody's fault either, and it could happen to anyone. Clogged toilets are nothing to stress about, here are some ways you can prevent and fix clogged toilets when they occur.

What Are the Reasons for Clogged Toilets?

clogged toilet reasonsThe most common reason for a clogged toilet is that someone used too much toilet paper. Children often accidentally use too much toilet paper although it can happen to anyone. Switching to a less dense toilet paper brand can help prevent clogs since super fluffy toilet paper tends to absorb the moisture and create blockages.

Other reasons for clogged toilets include things being flushed that should not. If hair or other particles are in the toilet they can cause a clog. It can be tempting to use the toilet as a trash can, but toilets are not made for flushing anything other than toilet paper.

Tips for Fixing Clogged Toilets

For fixing a clogged toilet there should be a plunger kept in the home. Clogged toilets happen and a simple household plunger is the easiest fix. If a plunger alone does not work then soap and hot water can be used to soften the clog and dislodge it.

Letting warm water and soap soak in the toilet over time may help dislodge the clog. Dish soap can dissolve dirt and particles which may make it easier for the clog to work its way out.

A liquid plumber should not be used as it is dangerous, but vinegar and baking soda can be used to cause a chemical reaction that can unclog the toilet. If all else fails, call a plumber before the problems get too serious and cause major property damage because the toilet overflows and causes water damage.

How to Prevent Clogged Toilets

If the problem persists, try switching to thinner bath tissue, as thick and soft tissue can sometimes cause clogs.

Keeping the toilet clean is another way to prevent clogs as mineral buildup can also affect the function of the toilet. Regular maintenance on the toilet, replacing broken parts, and cleaning will keep it working in top condition. Preventing clogged toilets is easy with a little bit of knowledge and patience.
