What’s Keeping My Toilet Clogged?

Flushing Non-Flushable Products: Strategies and Tips

One of the primary causes of clogged toilets is flushing un-flushable products down the toilet, although this may initially seem convenient. While doing so can solve temporary plumbing issues, such as paper towels, feminine hygiene products, diapers, or cotton balls won't break down in water easily and cause blockages in pipes or the toilet itself. Remember, toilets were built only to handle human waste and toilet paper - anything other than these will require professional plumbers' intervention for resolution.

Toilet or Pipe Issues

Sometimes clogged toilets are caused not by un-flushable products but by internal issues within the toilet or pipes themselves. Mineral deposits like calcium and lime can accumulate over time, narrowing water flow passageways. This leads to weak flushes, which in turn clog your toilet; also, malfunctioning flapper valves or fill valves can disrupt flushing mechanisms and block the toilet altogether. If this sounds familiar to you, it would be wise to contact a plumbing service to assess and remedy it as soon as possible before leaving it alone

Sewer Line Issues

Another potential cause of an ongoing or reoccurring toilet clog could be an obstruction in the sewer line, which connects your home's plumbing system to municipal sewer services. When this connection becomes damaged by tree roots, debris, or other obstructions, it can clog multiple drains - including your toilet - leading to it clogging repeatedly. In such instances, hiring a professional plumber experienced in sewer line repair may be necessary to diagnose and resolve this issue effectively - they have all the necessary tools to quickly find its source before making necessary repairs or replacements, or both.

Preventive Measures

To protect yourself and save the inconvenience and expense of a clogged toilet, you can take various preventive steps. First of all, educate all household members on what can or cannot be flushed down the toilet; encourage the use of wastebaskets to dispose of items like paper towels and feminine hygiene products. Secondly, regularly clean your toilet and perform maintenance tasks such as checking and adjusting its water level and inspecting its flushing mechanism. Finally, schedule periodic plumbing system inspections by professionals so you can detect and address potential issues before they become major headaches.
