A common problem people have with plumbing
One of the problems that is most common that people have is getting a clogged toilet.There will be times when it is easy and all you will need is a plunger. Other times it may require a plumber to come out and 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 some ways to fix it that most homeowners are going to be able to do.It doesn’t necessitate the use of 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 have to do is use a plunger.Most everyone will own a plunger and you can use it to clear a lot of clogged toilets. The most effective plungers have a fold out cup.That cup is what you are going to fit into the toilet trap.That is what causes the good suction.Then all you are going to need to do is use an even back and forth motion. This should 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.You can get them at most of your hardware stores. What you do is insert the end of the auger into the toilet.Then you take the handle and push it in while you crank it clockwise.This essentially clears any debris and will have the toilet unclogged.
These two pieces of equipment should be able to accomplish it.But if it happens not to work you will have to call a good plumber anyways to come out. It is more expensive then doing it yourself. But when you can’t, it is worth it to fix your plumbing. Because having a clogged toilet in the house is no fun.Plus it will lead to a lot of other problems.
