One of the problems that most people experience is having a clogged toilet as a plumbing problem.Sometimes it isn’t difficult and a plunger will be all you need.Then some times it will be needed that a plumber be the one to fix it. But for most people I am going to share a few tips that will hopefully fix it so you won’t need a plumber.
Now these are some tricks I have picked up running my Temecula plumber business.But these are steps that most homeowners will be able to do.It won’t require you to use or have expensive equipment.You aren’t required to be expert in plumbing to know how to fix it.Just be able to follow the directions and you should be able to fix it.
First thing you have to do is use a plunger. Everyone has a plunger and most clogged toilets can be freed from it. The most effective plungers have a fold out cup. That cup fits into the toilet trap.That is what causes the good suction.Then all you are going to need to do is use an even back and forth motion. This should clear the toilet.
Next after the plunger is using a toilet auger.How it looks is it has a J shaped tube and a cable attached. Sort of like a drain snake. It is one of my most used tools for my Murrieta plumber service. They can be purchased at most hardware stores. What you do is insert the end of the auger into the toilet.Then you take the handle and push it in while you crank it clockwise.This will dislodge any debris and have the toilet cleared.
These two equipment pieces should do a good job of fixing it.But if it happens not to work you will have to call a good plumber anyways to come out. It is more expensive then doing it yourself. But if you can’t do it, it is well worth it to get your plumbing fixed.Because when the toilet of the house is clogged it isn’t very pleasant.Plus it will lead to a lot of other problems.
