How To Prevent Toilet Clogs

While clogged toilets can be a nuisance to deal with, fortunately, they can be avoided by following these steps:

Don’t flush disposable diapers or wipes.
Don’t place large wads of toilet paper in the toilet.
Don’t flush paper towels.
Don’t place items like Q-tips or other beauty and hygiene products in the toilet.
Don’t flush hair trimmings or nail clippings.
Keep a wastebasket near the toilet to remind yourself and others to throw non-flushable items in there.

Professional Solutions To Clogged Toilets

When you have a clogged toilet that you cannot resolve on your own, you need to schedule professional services. Plumbers have tools to quickly and accurately remove blockages, like augers and hydro jetting.

Augers have a hollow tube attached to an elbow fitting that’s covered by a rubber sleeve to protect the toilet bowl from scratches. The plumber feeds a flexible cable through the toilet drain with a hand crank to dislodge the blockage.

For hydro jetting, a plumber inserts a high-pressure hose with special nozzles into the drain. The hose is connected to a machine that pressurizes the water, creating a force to dislodge the clog.

Signs Your Toilet Needs To Be Replaced

Are you calling a plumber frequently to repair your toilet? It could be time to just replace the unit rather than continue to fix it. Some signs that indicate you need to install a new system are:

Age

If your toilet is older and requires replacement parts to keep it functioning.

Cracks

Because most toilets are made of porcelain, they are prone to cracks in the bowl and tank cover. These can eventually cause water damage in your home.

Frequent clogs

Older toilets might have design issues that prevent water from properly pushing through the toilet with enough force. This can lead to clogs forming.

Wear and tear

As your toilet ages it can develop scratches from wear and tear. These scratches can show stains and cause dirt to cling to them, making the toilet more difficult to clean over time.

Increased utility bills

If you notice an increase in your utility bills it can signal your aging toilet is no longer efficient and is using more water than it needs to.
