Blocked Toilets

There is no fixed or standard price for a blocked toilet. The cost of the job would depend on the specifics. To give you an idea, the type of toilet, the type of property, the location and the severity of the problem are taken into consideration. It is best to call a licensed plumber at Rowson’s Plumbing Services for a proper inspection and estimate.

Slow Draining Toilets

After flushing, slow-draining water from the toilet bowl suggests a clogged toilet and backed-up drains. Because of the vacuum, the water level in the bowl drops much more slowly than usual. Any variation in the flush rate of your toilet suggests a problem. In any case, a blocked toilet must be repaired as soon as possible to minimize more damage.

If the toilet bowl is full or overflowing,

you flush the toilet and the bowl gets filled, your toilet is clogged. Too much toilet paper or foreign things such as toilet deodorizers or kids’ toys are the most common causes. This usually indicates that the toilet trap is clogged, but the rest of your sewer drains are operational. But don’t flush again, or you’ll end up with a huge mess on your floor.

Gurgling SoundClogged

drains allow sewer gases to escape through your sewer system’s water seals and vents. If you hear gurgling sounds, don’t ignore them; instead, contact a plumber before the problem worsens. These noises serve as an excellent early warning, and the barrier is generally easily removed. If the problem is not addressed, it may enlarge and become more expensive to resolve.

Foul Smell

An unpleasant odour emanating from your bathroom, kitchen sink, or toilet indicates a toilet clog. A toilet blockage causes pressure buildup in your pipes, which releases gases that are released via bathroom fixtures and vent pipes throughout your home. If you detect these odours, contact a plumber immediately before the problem develops.

Responsible FlushingThe

simplest way to avoid clogs is to flush properly. This means being more aware of what you flush—general rule: flush whatever leaves your body. Anything else, from toilet paper, sanitary products, to food scraps, is forbidden.

Begin by making a list of items that cannot be flushed. Place the list on the bathroom wall for convenient viewing.

Tanks are not counters.

Never use the toilet tank as a counter. Avoid putting items on top of the toilet tank, as these items may fall into the bowl by accident.

Immediate responseIf

you have a weak flush or a slow drain, address the issue immediately. Never leave a situation unmanaged for a long duration of time before acting. Call a plumber; even if the toilet plunger worked, inform the plumber.

Avoid chemical drain cleaners.

When used incorrectly, chemical drain cleaners can cause pipe damage. Toilet hardware can potentially be damaged by in-tank chemical solution cleaning products. Choose the most reliable toilet cleaners.

Conduct Inspections Twice a Year

Finally, have your pipes inspected twice a year, including your toilet. Thorough inspections help guarantee that all-important components are working properly. It will also help you decide whether to upgrade or repair certain fixtures. Replacing an old toilet saves money in the long run.
