A clogged toilet is a common problem in the bathroom. The good news is, most homeowners can manage a clogged toilet repair easily and get it back up and running in no time. However, sometimes toilet drains are overwhelmed with toilet paper or clogged by non-flushable items that find their way into the drain. If that’s the case, it may be time to call a plumber.

Get the plunger
Whether the toilet is partially or completely plugged, start with the plunger. A toilet that's completely clogged is pretty obvious. The toilet bowl will fill up with water and probably overflow. Give the water level about 10 minutes to drop and then attempt to plunge. If you have a partial clog, you might not know it until you flush the toilet. If this is the case, the water level remains high and will usually drain down to normal level within a minute or two. If the water doesn’t drain, don’t flush the toilet again. Grab the plunger.

Use the snake
If the plunger won't clear the drain, or if the toilet still won't flush well, use the snake. A drain snake is a long wire coil with a corkscrew-like tip that you feed into your pipes until it reaches the clog. To use it, turn the snake clockwise so that the tip screws into the clog and breaks it up. Or the debris winds onto the wire so you can pull it out.

Try to avoid chemicals. Commercial drain cleaners have harsh chemicals that can damage pipes, and with time, overuse of these cleaners can cause corrosion and spring leaks. Certain types of pipes should never have drain cleaner chemicals used on them.

If none of these repairs unclog your toilet, you may have a bigger plumbing issue and you need to call an expert.

We spend an amazing amount of time in bathrooms each day. Bathrooms are a place where people get ready, pamper and take care of themselves, so when certain fixtures in the room aren't working, it can seriously mess up people's entire days.

How can you use the bathroom when the toilet won't flush? Or shower if your tub's faucet isn't working? Bathroom faucets are some of the most crucial fixtures in the room, which is why it's important to know what to do if they stop functioning, start leaking or need repairs for some other reason.

Dishwashers are one of the best inventions for your home. Sometimes, though, the dishwasher may not operate properly due to problems with the water supply or drain line connections. Specifically, the following problems can occur:

• If the water supply line is clogged or kinked, the dishwasher may not receive the correct amount of water to clean your dishes. Sometimes the dishwasher’s drain lines can become clogged with food or other debris.
• If the sink’s drain is clogged, dirty water from the dishwasher will not drain properly and can become trapped inside the appliance.

The garbage disposal may be one of the most misused appliances in any home. Few people realize that garbage disposals are only designed to handle light food residue that is rinsed from plates and cooking utensils before they go into the dishwasher. That's why so many of our plumbing service calls involve garbage disposal repair.

Large quantities of food and debris going into disposers can overwhelm them and clog the kitchen sink drain. Few things are more frustrating than a kitchen sink that won't drain, but our plumbers are experts at kitchen drain cleaning. We'll also repair or replace your broken garbage disposal and get your sink back to normal in no time.

Is there anything that causes more frustration than a toilet that won't flush? Water rises in the bowl and begins spilling onto the floor as panic sets in. If a toilet requires plunging on a regular basis, there is probably an obstruction in the trap or farther down the drainpipe. It may even be a symptom of a bigger problem farther down the sewer line. We're experts at dealing with clogged toilets—in fact, it's one of our most-requested bathroom plumbing services.

If you hear water running in your toilet tank for extended periods after a flush, then your toilet is leaking. This means it is dumping water down the overflow tube and wasting up to 200 gallons of water daily. The problem may be a corroded overflow pipe or flush valve assembly. Sometimes the culprit is a worn out flapper valve.

If your toilet was manufactured before 1994, it is probably costing you a fortune in water. Older toilets used 3.5 gallons per flush (gpf). Newer low-flow toilets use only 1.6 gpf and the newest low-flow designs provide the same amount of flushing power as old 3.5-gallon models.
