What causes a clogged toilet?

Common causes of clogged toilets include too much toilet paper, children's toys, and other objects being flushed down the drain. It is also possible for tree roots to grow into pipes, or for grease and hair to become stuck in them over time.

How do I know if I have a clogged toilet?

A few signs that you may have a clogged toilet include water not draining out of the bowl, an overflowing toilet when flushing, or gurgling noises coming from the pipes.

How can I unclog my toilet?

Depending on the severity of the clog, you may be able to use a plunger or an auger (also known as a plumber's snake) to clear it. If neither of these methods work, you can contact City Plumbing and Rooter for professional help. Our team will provide prompt service and get your toilet running smoothly again in no time.

What should I do to prevent a clogged toilet in the future?

To avoid clogging your toilet, it is important to only flush what can be easily broken down and flushed away. This includes human waste, toilet paper, and tissues. Toys, feminine hygiene products, diapers, paper towels, cotton balls, dental floss and cigarette butts should all be disposed of in a trash can instead.

signs your toilet is clogged

While a clogged toilet can be aggravating, it is important to pay attention to the signs that your toilet may be clogged. Some of these signs include:

Water slowly rising in the bowl. If you notice that water is starting to rise in your toilet bowl, this is one of the first indicators that there could be a blockage.

Water backing up into the tub or shower. Another common sign that you may have a clogged toilet is when water starts to back up in your tub and/or shower. If this happens, it is important to shut off the main valve immediately and call a plumber.

Gurgling sounds. If you hear gurgling coming from your toilet, this is another sign that there could be a blockage somewhere in the system.

You can see a blockage. One of the clearest signs that your toilet is clogged is if you are able to see a blockage inside the drain. For example, you may notice that something has fallen into the toilet and has created a large clog.
