There are several different reasons for a clogged toilet. Depending on the residents, the plumbing system, and the overall maintenance, it can be due to several different factors. Take a look at the most common issues below:

  • clogged toiletsFlushing Food: Nothing beyond wastewater and toilet paper is meant to go down the toilet. Many homeowners, however, use it to flush food, oil, grease, and other items that can create a clog.
  • Vent Issue: A vent system helps gravity carry wastewater to the sewer or septic tank. If there is an issue with the vents, it can cause a back up in the toilet.
  • Sewer Line: The main sewer line is what carries your toilet flush to its final destination. Although not as common, it can become clogged causing the backup to build into the home.
  • Flushing Other Objects: When there are kids in the home, it is possible for a toy, or even a shoe, to get flushed. This will cause a block that will not allow the toilet to drain correctly.

How A Toilet Is Unclogged By The Professionals

Toilet clogs are one of the most common service calls for professional plumbers, so they have become the leading expert on how to repair the issue. If the situation is fairly new, the technician will try a basic plunger and similar tools to try and dislodge the block.

If that does not work, a camera scope will be used to find the clog. The blockage can be removed with a high powered water gun that will break up the debris. If it is a more serious situation, such as a clog in the main sewer line, the technician may have to clean out that area which can be more invasive.
