FAQs on Clogged Drains and Toilets

How do you unblock a badly blocked toilet?

Unblocking a badly blocked toilet requires a cautious approach to avoid further damage or mess. Here’s what you can try:

Plunger: Use a flange or accordion-style plunger to create suction. Ensure a good seal and gently plunge up and down.

Hot Water and Dish Soap: Pour hot water mixed with dish soap into the toilet bowl and let it sit for a few minutes before attempting to flush.

– Auger or Toilet Snake: Insert a toilet auger or snake into the drain and twist it to break up the clog.

– Enzyme Drain Cleaner: Use an enzyme-based drain cleaner specifically formulated for toilets.

Call a Professional: If these methods fail or if you’re dealing with recurring blockages, it’s best to call a professional plumber. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners, as they can damage pipes and create hazardous fumes.

Prevent future blockages by avoiding flushing items like wipes, feminine hygiene products, and excessive toilet paper. If you’re unsure or unsuccessful, a plumber can resolve the issue safely and effectively.

Why does my toilet get clogged often?

Frequent toilet clogs can stem from various factors:

– Excessive Flushing: Overloading the toilet with excessive toilet paper or flushing non-flushable items can lead to clogs.

– Low-Flow Toilets: Some low-flow toilets might not have enough flushing power to clear waste effectively.

Hard Water: Mineral buildup in pipes can reduce water flow, making clogs more likely.

– Sewer Line Issues: Clogs in the main sewer line can affect multiple fixtures, including toilets.

– Faulty Toilet Design: Poor toilet design might contribute to clogs if the trapway or drain diameter is inadequate.

– Improper Use of Toilet: Using the toilet as a disposal for items like wipes, hygiene products, or excessive paper can cause clogs.

– Underlying Plumbing Issues: A hidden plumbing issue, like tree root intrusion or pipe damage, can lead to recurring clogs.

Consult a professional plumber if clogs persist. They can diagnose the underlying cause and recommend appropriate solutions, from repairs to toilet replacement or plumbing maintenance.

How do you fix a toilet that keeps clogging?

To address a toilet that repeatedly clogs, follow these steps:

Plunger: Use a plunger to clear minor clogs. Create a tight seal and gently plunge up and down.

Auger or Snake: Employ a toilet auger or snake to break up stubborn clogs deeper in the drain.

High-Efficiency Toilet: Consider upgrading to a high-efficiency toilet with a stronger flush, especially if your current toilet is old or low-flow.

– Proper Flushing Technique:
Teach proper flushing habits—flush only toilet paper and waste, avoiding non-flushable items.

– Regular Maintenance:
Schedule professional plumbing maintenance to clear buildup and inspect for hidden issues.

– Main Sewer Line Check: If multiple fixtures are affected, your main sewer line might be clogged. Have a plumber inspect and address any blockages.

– Professional Inspection: If clogs persist, consult a plumber to identify underlying issues like improper slope or drain line problems.

A plumber can provide tailored solutions and recommend adjustments or repairs to prevent future clogs effectively.

Why does my low flow toilet keep clogging?

Low-flow toilets are designed to use less water per flush for efficiency, but they can sometimes be prone to clogs due to their reduced water volume. Several factors could contribute to clogging:

– Improper Flushing Habits: Low-flow toilets require proper flushing techniques. Flushing excessive toilet paper or non-flushable items can lead to clogs.

Design Issues: Some early models of low-flow toilets had design flaws that led to insufficient flushing power.

Mineral Buildup: Low water volume can allow mineral buildup in pipes, reducing flow and causing clogs.

Waste Type: Certain types of waste might require more water for effective removal.

Old or Poor Quality Toilets: Older or low-quality low-flow toilets might lack the advancements in flushing technology found in newer models.

If your low-flow toilet constantly clogs, consider upgrading to a more modern and efficient model that has been designed to address these issues. Consulting with a plumber can help you choose the right toilet for your needs. Toilet Clogs services, you can enjoy a smoothly functioning plumbing system without the worry of recurring clogs.

    Brian Higgins
    Liam & Tyler did a nice job replacing a 30-year single piece low-profile toilet with a new American Standard Champion elongated comfort height toilet. It looks good & will save a lot of water & frustration with previous shut-off valves that did not work properly for very long.
    Alexander
    Great experience. Timely, efficient, and our plumber was great. Fixed our issue in less than 2 hours.
    Charles Grammick
    Did an outstanding job of making sure I was satisfied with the results. The faucet manufacturer failed to box all the parts. Vern's came back again to finish the job after I ordered the missing part. They finished the job with no additional charges. Very professional company to deal with!
    Anderson Ho
    Nathan and his colleague/apprentice came over with the giant snake and took care of the sewer clean-out. Very appreciative of the explanation of the process and final result.
    Thomas Hart
    Liam fixed a long-standing problem with a toilet replacement. He had the knowledge, expertise, and patience to complete the job successfully, repairing problems created by the initial installation years earlier. It was obvious that the earlier install was by a wannabe handyman trying out plumbing. Now, no problems and even requested estimates for two future jobs that I know are needed. Excellent service from Vern’s Plumbing!
    Brad Barker
    We highly recommend Vern's Plumbing. Jessica was very friendly and professional when scheduling. Chris and his assistant were also friendly and professional. They arrived on the early end of the scheduled time frame and worked diligently to complete the job. Vern's pricing is fair, I don't feel they're out to take advantage of anybody, they're quick to respond, they do quality work, and the people are a pleasure. If that is what you want in a plumbing company, then you should definitely call them for your plumbing needs. We have dealt with several companies in the past three years for home improvements and repairs and have realized it's hard to find a company that checks all these boxes anymore. We appreciate that Vern's does!
    Michael Norris
    Called their office at around 4 o’clock expecting to schedule an appointment for the next day. The nice lady who answered the phone said let me check and see what we can do. She called back in a few minutes and said her tech could be own his way. I got home and he was waiting for me. Chris looked at my hot water heater and told me he could have it done by 7:30 tonight. He gave me an estimate immediately which I thought was a fair price. Another tech showed up with the tank and they went to work. They were very professional and knowledgeable about the heater and other questions I had concerning our issue. Would highly recommend them. Nothing but pleased with my experience.
    Cathy Coyle
    Vern's was very prompt in scheduling my appointment. Showed up on time. Very honest and reasonable pricing. Explained all they were doing. Can't say enough about the company and our service tech Bill. Highly recommend this company.
    Bob Matteo
    I contacted Vern's because I had a drainage system for 3 downspouts that runs under my driveway that was backing up and overflowing onto the driveway. They gave me a quote for power jetting the pipe and them putting a camera down it to verify it was clean. It turned out the pipe under the driveway was full of shingle grit and sludge (house built 20 years ago). They jet washed it and then attempted to put the camera in. The camera was too big to navigate the turns in the pipe. They then came back with a different camera that would fit the pipe and succeeded in shooting it to verify it was open. They had agreed to reclean the system if it proved to still be blocked at no added cost. They are very professional, responsive, friendly and explain everything they are doing as they go. I wouldn't use any other company for a problem that required investigation and testing to determine the cause.
    David Perez
    Outstanding service. Chris was great. Explained the full process in detail and then knocked it out!!Huge thank you to Jessica for making this happen today. She is to be commended. I can be a jerk sometimes.Highly recommend Vern's!!!! ✌️😎
    Cristopher Lance
    We had a problem with our water heater on a Saturday evening and Chris Wilson came by from Vern's to help us out. Chris was exceptional and intelligent and he guided us through what the problem was. He told us that he would be back the next day to replace our water heater. I definitely recommend this service for anyone who is looking for good quality work and prompt service.
    Peggy Carder
    We first called Vern's Plumbing a year or so ago to replace our water heater. It was a pleasant experience and we were impressed by the Bill, the technician and their prices were fair. When our bath tub faucet started leaking we called them again. From speaking with Reese in the office to schedule the appointment; to Chris, the technician that repaired our leaking faucet is was pleasure. Chris was friendly and very knowledgeable. We appreciate the professionalism and kindness of Vern's Plumbing. We will never call any other plumbing company but Vern's. We highly recommend them!

    Recently had an issue with my well pump not working. Tried to get resolved with home warranty company without success. I called a local, well recognized plumbing company that wanted to charge me $5000-$8000 for a new well pump and pressure tank. A friend recommended Vern’s. Matt contacted me immediately and was at my house in an hour. Super professional and personable. He diagnosed the issue, and saved me thousands of dollars by properly diagnosing the issue and not trying to sell me something I did not need. They have won a customer for life. Can’t say enough good about Vern’s Plumbing and Matt for his help. Thank you!
    Evelyn Santiago
    Chris provided superior customer service. He answered all our questions. He also demonstrated superior technical skills.

    Cody Campbell
    Very satisfied with Vern’s Plumbing. I called to schedule a visit on a Wednesday and they were available next day. Liam came out and checked out the hot water heater and offered ways to keep it maintained. Also suggested other items that could be replaced when he was doing the walk-through. Liam also fixed the kitchen sink faucet that would not sit tight to the sink. Will certainly use them again for anytime plumbing!
    Bobby Hersey
    Great experience with Verns. Liam the technician arrived on time, and was able to fix our leaky toilet in under an hour. He was professional, polite, and explained the process every step of the way. He even gave us a few tips to prevent further issues down the road. I highly recommend Verns, and ask for Liam!

    Needed a plumber quick on a holiday weekend and got one in less than an hour from Vern's. Chris was polite and quick and laid out what he felt needed to be done.
    Steven Pearson
    They are all very nice at this company and so, easy to work with. They came early and worked on my drain, and thought the repair was complete but didn’t test using my washer. The next day I used the washer and it showed the repair wasn’t complete. So I called them back, they were nice about it, and finished the repair on the 2nd trip. No worries. I’m keeping their contact info for future use.
    Tina Barber
    Tech Chris was knowledgeable, efficient and very pleasant. He explained things during the process and completed the installation smoothly. Works great now!Thanks to Vern’s for another fine experience. You’re always our go-to company for plumbing needs.
    Janet Corthon
    Excellent service! Bill Harper arrived on time, was very thorough, professional, and kept me apprised of every step of the replacement of my gas lines outside even with a couple of issues that occurred. He came out the same day called this week when I had an issue with the pilot light. Bill is a true asset to your company! I would highly recommend him and his team! You will not regret it!
    James Gillespie
    Vern's plumbing is absolutely outstanding! I had an issue with my tankless water heater and they showed up earlier ready to go. Their technician (Chris) was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He was able to diagnose the problem right away and had the hot water running in about an hour. Great service, I can't say enough positive things about this company and its employees. I highly recommend them. Thanks again!

Even offered to recommended another company to do some repairs outside the scope of the service they offered!
    Gina Kvitkovich
    Liam was great. He obviously knew his stuff and could tell me what the plumbing issue was in simple, clear language, and discussed my options with me. He was clear about what absolutely needed to be done that day, and what were issues that either weren't important or could wait a bit. Really enjoyed working with Liam and the other staff at Vern's Plumbing--I just moved to this area and now I feel that I found my plumber!

    Lorena Arevalo
    The technician Liam is the best. He explained the problem in a way I could understand, and brought to my attention how serious the situation could have been and he tightened some bolts free of charge for the safety of my children and I. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone.

    Joe Murray
    We recently had all the floors in our home redone, including the main floor powder room. The floor installers removed the toilet and pedestal sink to do their work. After seeking estimates from 3 plumbing services, I decided to use Verns. Liam and Brett came out to do the estimate and Liam returned to do the work the next day. While Verns estimate was more expensive than the other 2 services, I felt Liam had explained the work better, showed more confidence in his ability to complete the job and was just a better fit. On the day of, Liam completed the work professionally, cleanly and in a way that showed pride in his trade. He took extra care to protect our new floors and tackled the vanity I purchased to replace the pedestal with ease although it posed some challenges. He was personable and didn't mind me asking questions and watching him work. I have my plumber. I recommend Vern's, and whenever possible and available, I highly recommend Liam. The powder room looks amazing. Thank you Liam!

    Stephanie Mongue
    Recently I have used Verns plumbing several times. They are always very professional and honest! The repair on a shower unit leak was a little tricky. Leaked so we stopped using it and made an appointment with Verns to come out. Didn’t leak right away when Nate and Brett were here but they stayed, and really looked for what the problem was. Sealed a small area that may be the culprit, and let me know if it was not. They will come back out to fix it. I really appreciated how honest Nate is. That truly is everything!Water in my opinion is worse than fire!I will use Verns plumbing for all our plumbing needs! Nice to finally find a company that has integrity and honestyThankyou All

    Lynda Pejic
    Vern's Plumbing came as a referral from our Hot Water Tank supplier and I am so grateful for it. We have hired other plumbing services but Vern's is hands down the most professional. I would gladly recommend hiring Vern's Plumbing and would go so far to recommend their service agreement. They understand how expensive it is to fix plumbing issues and truly respect the client. They kept us apprised through the whole process. We signed up for the Gold membership and couldn’t be happier

    We had a leak in a copper pipe coming from the well to our filtration system, we had been out of town so there was a size-able puddle when we found it. Vern’s quickly dispatched a serviceman to fix the problem. He took out the damaged pipe, replaced it and had everything back in quickly, efficiently and for a reasonable fee! Thank you for your prompt assistance in this matter!
