Now, let’s consider household toilets and take an in-depth look at the problems that can occur because of how they function.
Toilet Blockages - The Root Cause
Anything from a tree root destroying your sewer pipes, to a children's toy getting flushed can cause a your toilet to back up and block. Below we discuss the main components that cause a blockage.
The Toilet Drain
A toilet flushes because a flapper valve opens when the flush handle is pressed down. This valve opens into the toilet’s P trap (or an old-style S trap). The water and waste then travel through a pipe that’s connected to a shared drain line, then the stack (the home’s main drainpipe), and on into the sewer or septic system.
In many ways, a toilet is a perfect machine. It takes no fuel, and unless there’s a clog, it does its intended job every time. Flushing a toilet is an effect of gravity and water pressure.
How Toilet Clogs Form
A toilet clog forms when either the toilet’s trap or its drain line is jammed with substances that have become too dense to pass through. Toilet drains often start to clog when too much toilet paper or paper hygiene products are flushed at once.
Be aware, though, that not every clog causing a blocked toilet is necessarily in the toilet itself -- or even originated in the toilet. Many drains feed into the same drain line, and any one of them (the kitchen sink, for example) might be the cause of the blockage. Tree roots in outside pipes further down could be to blame as well.
Although some water might pass through a clog at first, eventually, the addition of additional solid waste will stop the flow. With nowhere for the water to go, the bowl fills, possibly until it overflows.
Want To Try And Unlog Your Toilet Yourself?
For mild, easy to shift blockages, there are a few ways you can attempt to unclog a blocked toilet yourself, the most common of which is using a toilet plunger. You can also wear rubber gloves and reach in with your hand and maybe a bent coat hanger to try and pull out the clog.
You can also try to break up the clog using baking soda and vinegar. First, make sure the water level in the bowl is about half. Then, pour in 250ml of baking soda. Follow this by gradually adding 250ml of vinegar. Allow it to fizz for at least 20 minutes.
If these strategies don’t clear your blocked toilet, no problem. You should definitely give us a call.
Don’t Get All Flushed When If You See A Toilet Blockage!
After all, looking at toilets is a big part of what our expert plumbers do.
When they look at your toilet, they’ll figure out what’s clogging it and decide which of our many tools can make it functional again.
Don’t worry. We’re in the business of handling blocked toilets. It should be our concern, not yours.
We’ll have that blocked toilet freed up in no time - and leave your bathroom clean and tidy when we’re through.
