One of the problems that most people experience is having a clogged toilet as a plumbing problem. Sometimes it is easy and a plunger will clear it.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 follow some directions and you can 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 plungers that are really effective will have fold out cup. That cup fits into the toilet trap.That is what causes the good suction. All you then have to do is use and even back and forth motion. This should clear the toilet.
Another piece of equipment you can use is a toilet auger. What it looks like is a J shaped tube and cable.Something similar to 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 tools should do the trick. But of course if it doesn’t then you will need a good plumber to come out.It requires a little bit more money than if you did it yourself. But when you are unable to do it yourself, it is worth it to get it 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.
