What should you do to avoid toilet problems?

  • Of all the misfortunes that can happen in your home, there’s likely nothing more terrifying than watching the toilet refuses to flush. As the water level in the bowl goes up threateningly, you can only hope that the problem will in any manner miraculously resolve itself and you will be spared from splashes and spillover. Toilets definitely have the potential to be one of the most expensive, messiest, and biggest hassles you’ll ever encounter if they aren’t regularly maintained or properly used. That’s why prevention really pays off in the long run.

How do toilets get clogged?

  1. Often, we use our toilets everyday without giving them much consideration. Sometimes we even treat it as a garbage bin. But, once trouble happens, we will most certainly take notice. Toilets get clogged due to a lot of factors. Some of these are listed below to give you an idea of what you should be mindful about.
  2.  
  3. 1. Foreign objects – Foreign objects such as those that don’t dissolve are not meant to be flushed down the toilet. But this is especially difficult to control when you have kids at home, or you’re not the only one using the toilet. Incidentally, there are several non-flushable items that people tend to accidentally drop or keep on flushing the toilet. Leading the list of items is the feminine products. As a rule of the thumb, proper disposal of sanitary items, qtips, cottons, wet wipes, hair, diapers, dental floss, etc. should be followed. When these things make contact with the water, they clump together, or expand whenever you flush them and take a very long time to break down in the sewer system. This will then lead to constant backup. When you are careful of what you’re dumping down the toilet, you could significantly reduce the clogging instances in your property.
  4.  
  5. 2. Low-Flow Toilet – First generation toilets reduce water consumption. However, many of the designs lack the necessary pressure to flush everything all the way down the sewer. To determine if you have a low-flow toilet model, you can check at the back of the toilet for a stamped date. An older model of toilet does not necessarily mean you need to replace it, but you can limit the amount of toilet paper you flush to avoid the clogs. But if the problem still exists despite this, you can replace them with newer models that are better at getting everything out of the toilet bowl and still efficient at reducing water consumption. It might be the best time as well to hire a blocked toilet fix plumber to have a look at the problem. 
  6.  
  7. 3. Jammed trap – Toilets have an S-trap between the bowl and the drain line which is a good spot to develop a clog. The trap is designed to hold standing water and keep sewer gases away from entering your property. If a certain object gets stuck in that area, or excessive tissue is flushed, the trap is overwhelmed and eventually clogged. Clearing out the trap is not always an easy job, so it’s better be left for the unblock toilet Sydney professionals who have the appropriate tools and experience to get this job done right.
  8.  
  9. 4. Blocked plumbing vent – Some plumbing fixtures and newer toilet models use plumbing vents. Since these vents are up on your roof, there’s a big chance that it will come in contact with different kinds of outdoor elements such as leaves, sticks, and bird nests. Over time, these vents can clog because of these elements and will reduce its ability to drain water. When this happens, it is best to hire a blocked toilet Sydney pro since vent blockages can be difficult to locate and will require special skills and tools that only professionals have.
  10.  
  11. 5. Sewer line problem – Toilets get clogged on a regular basis if there is a blockage down the sewer line. These can be because of buildup of debris, tree-roots, or non-flushable items. These buildups when left ignored will make your sewer take the beating and eventually make it collapse. Unfortunately, there is no amount of plunging that will be able to clear this type of blockages – it requires a toilet unblocking service to resolve this.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO TO AVOID THESE SITUATIONS?

  • They say knowledge is power; the same is true with plumbing. The more knowledgeable you are on the ways to prevent any toilet block instances from happening, the more you can benefit from it. The list should be of great help to you.
  •  

       Clear the toilet tank from anything that can accidentally drop the toilet bowl.

       Do not delay weak flush or slow drain issues. Address it right away!

       Inspect for possible tree roots where your sewer pipe runs. 

       Use double-flush technique to properly eliminate waste down the sewer.

       Upgrade or replace first generation toilets with a more efficient one.

       Flush toilet papers not excessively.

       Be mindful of what you’re flushing. Don’t let children bring toys in the toilet.

       Regularly inspect your toilet for leaks.

       Avoid using chemical drain cleaners. They can damage your toilets when used excessively and sitting on the toilet for a long time.

       Contact the experts when everything else fails!

A blocked toilet situation that happens once is nothing to worry about, but if it’s been happening in great frequency, you should contact the blocked toilet plumbers right away. Toilet that keeps blocking implies something down the line is holding the water from reaching all the way to the sewer system. Unfortunately, there is no easy fix when it comes to troubles down the sewer that is concealed underground, but needs the topnotch skills and tools of the blocked toilet drain experts. 


Also one of the best ways to address the problem when your toilet behaves to this extent is to get a CCTV drain camera inspection service. The camera will be able to identify the exact location of the blockages.
