One of the most common plumbing issues we come across is a clogged toilet. Not only is this problem annoying and inconvenient, it can also lead to an overflowing toilet and costly water damage.
Here are 5 reasons why your toilet is clogged:
- The trap is blocked: When there’s too much toilet paper or non-flushable materials being flushed, this narrow trap can become blocked, causing the toilet the clog. For this situation, a plunger or toilet auger can usually clear the blockage.
- Non-flushable items get lodged in plumbing: Other items like paper towels, cotton balls, tampons, dental floss, and wet wipes (just to name a few)
- A low-flow toilet that can’t get the job done
- A plumbing vent get blocked: Modern plumbing systems use roof vents to circulate fresh air and prevent air-pressure problems. If your plumbing vent get filled with leaves, animal nets, or other debris, it could limit the drain flow and result in a clogged toilet
- The sewer line is backed up
