Common household plumbing problem
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 plumbing business. But these are tricks that the average homeowner should be able to do. They don’t require expensive equipment. You don’t need to know all about the plumbing to fix it. Just follow some directions and you can fix it.
First thing you want to try is a plunger.Most people will have a plunger and that is what can clear most clogged toilets.The plungers that are really effective will have fold out cup.That cup is what goes into the toilet trap. That allows a good suction.Then what you are going to do is take it and use a back and forth motion very even.This should be able to 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 plumbing service.They can be bought at your typical hardware store.What you will do is take the end of the auger and put it into the toilet. Then you push the handle forward and crank it in a clockwise motion. This loosens any debris and clears the toilet.
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 creates a lot of problems.
