Do you have a blocked toilet? Maybe you have a broken toilet? When the problem is serious, you might need an emergency toilet replacement or repair done by a professional plumber. A broken or blocked toilet can be a huge inconvenience that should be resolved quickly before the problem becomes worse.

EPlumber is ready and waiting to come to your rescue whenever and wherever your plumbing emergency strikes.

A clogged toilet bowl is no problem for us. We also install and service bidet toilets, which is a seat you can attach to your existing toilet to convert it into a bidet. They need electricity and EPlumber has technicians who can do the job.

Our toilet plumbers can fix anything toilet related. The part of the toilet that most often plays up is the cistern, which is the part with the buttons you use to flush the toilet. Cisterns have a lot of moving parts and seals that can fail and leave you with water tricking endlessly into the toilet bowl.

Ever been caught in that awkward situation when your toilet decides to take a break from its usual duties? It’s not just frustrating; it can be downright embarrassing. But fear not, because knowing the enemy is half the battle. Let’s talk about why toilets get blocked in the first place.

Imagine you’re at a friend’s house, you flush, and suddenly panic sets in as the water starts to rise instead of swirling down. It’s a badly clogged toilet and you’ve got problems.

Common culprits behind this bathroom drama include excessive toilet paper consumption (we all want to be thorough, but moderation is key), and the flushing of non-flushable items like wipes or feminine products. Remember, only toilet paper and human waste belong down the toilet bowl.

Then there’s the sneaky buildup of minerals and waste over time. Think of it like cholesterol clogging your arteries, but in your plumbing. This gradual accumulation can constrict the flow, leading to a blockage.

Understanding the causes can help you prevent these plumbing predicaments. So, next time you’re tempted to toss something unusual into the bowl, think twice.

And if you have kids, a little education on proper toilet use might go a long way in preventing those inconvenient surprises. Stay tuned as we dive into ways to cope with and conquer these toilet drain troubles.

Alright, you’ve identified the problem – it’s a badly clogged toilet. But don’t fret, because we’ve got your back with some basic steps to tackle this bathroom dilemma. Let’s dive in!

First up, do you have a trusty plunger handy? It’s your go-to tool for minor blockages. Make sure you’re wearing rubber gloves.

Position it over the drain hole, make sure you’ve got a good seal, and give it a series of gentle but firm plunges. If the water starts swirling down, you’re on the right track. You never want to be stuck without a plunger. If it doesn’t work, don’t lose hope – we’ve got more tricks up our sleeve.

Next, the toilet auger, also known as a drain snake, toilet snake or plumbing snake. This handy tool helps break up stubborn clogs deeper in the pipes. Insert it gently, give it a twist, and work it in carefully. If you encounter resistance, don’t force it. A little patience goes a long way.

Feeling DIY-savvy? Yes, you can clear a toilet without a plunger. You can try some homemade solutions too. A mix of baking soda and vinegar or boiling water and dish soap might just do the trick for minor blockages.

In the case of baking soda and vinegar, carefully pour two cups of the mixture down the drain and wait a half hour before flushing again. It might loosen things enough to get the water flowing again. Boiling water (or very hot water) may do the same.

Remember, safety first. Wear rubber gloves and take precautions to avoid splashes from dirty water. And if your unclogging process isn’t doing the job after a half hour or so, it might be time to consider calling in a local plumber from EPlumber.

Whether you’re plunging, snaking, or mixing up homemade concoctions, these basic steps will have you well on your way to conquering that blocked toilet. If the clog clears, say goodbye to toilet troubles and hello to a smoothly functioning bathroom.

So, you’ve given it your all – plunging, snaking, and even trying a homemade drain cleaner – but that pesky blocked toilet just won’t budge. It’s time to know when to throw in the towel and call in the experts from EPlumber.

If you’ve exhausted your DIY options, you’ve tried the hot water trick, drain snakes and much more, and a flush is still causing the water level to rise, it’s a clear sign that the blockage might be more stubborn than you thought. You don’t want the blockage to harden overnight.

A professional plumber has the tools and expertise to handle the toughest clogs without causing further damage to your plumbing system.

Another red flag is if you’ve experienced recurring toilet blockages. This could indicate a deeper issue within your pipes that requires professional assessment. Trying to handle it yourself repeatedly might lead to more headaches down the line.

When you’re dealing with older plumbing systems or if you’re unsure about the cause of the blockage, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Professional plumbers can pinpoint the problem, provide a lasting solution, and offer advice on how to prevent future issues.

Remember, there’s no shame in calling for backup. EPlumber plumbers deal with blocked toilets day in and day out – they’ve seen it all and know just what to do.

So, if your toilet is giving you a tough time, don’t hesitate to make that call and let the pros work their magic to get your water supply flowing again. Your stress levels and your toilet will thank you.
