Identify The Toilet Clogs And Prevention
There are a number of methods you can try on your own (with or without a plunger) to fix toilet clogs that won’t require a plumber.
Clogged With Items
Flushable wipes can clog home plumbing. Paper towels are made to resist tearing, so this physical resistance makes it difficult for them to break down in a toilet. Disposable cloths, menstrual products, napkins, ear swabs, and hair are common items people try to flush down the toilet.
How to Fix It
Clogs caused by foreign materials can usually be cleared by forcing the clog through to the main sewer line by plunging the toilet. If that doesn’t work, use a toilet auger (toilet snake) to pull the clog out.
Blocked Toilet Trap
Sometimes, the toilet trap is partially blocked. The toilet may still flush, but the water will drain out more slowly than usual. Partial clogs usually lead to complete clogs, leading to toilet bowl overflows.
How to Fix It
A toilet plunger can often force a partial clog in the toilet trap to move through to the branch drain and onward to the main drain. If this doesn’t work, use a toilet auger to remove or break up the partial clog and move it through the drain.
Obstructed Vents
Plumbing relies on ventilation pipes that equalize pressure in the system and prevent water from siphoning out of the drain traps, which can release sewer gas into the home. An extension of the drain pipes, the vents run up the attic and stick out of the roof. They also allow fresh air from outside to enter the system.
How to Fix It
To verify that the problem lies with the vent pipe, have one person flush the toilet while another person on the roof holds their hand over the vent. If no suction is felt, the vent is blocked and must be cleared with a plumber’s snake.
Damaged Sewer Line
The main sewer line that exits the home runs underground and out to a municipal sewer system or septic tank is vulnerable to tree roots and other underground hazards. Rocks, dirt, and other debris can enter the line through the punctures.
How to Fix It
Call an emergency plumber to have the lines cleared with a special motorized auger that scours the inside of the drain pipe with a flexible cable fixed with a cutting head.
