A common problem people have with plumbing

One of the problems that most people experience is having a clogged toilet as a plumbing problem.Sometimes it isn’t difficult and a plunger will be all you need.Then some times it will be needed that a plumber be the one to 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 plumber business.But these are some ways to fix it that most homeowners are going to be able to do.It won’t require you to use or have expensive equipment.You aren’t required to be expert in plumbing to know how to fix it.Just be able to understand instructions and you can do it yourself.

First thing you want to try is a plunger.Most people will have a plunger and that is what can clear most clogged toilets.The plungers that work the best will have a fold out cup.That cup is what goes into the toilet trap.That is what causes the good suction.  All you then have to do is use and even back and forth motion.  This should clear the toilet.

Another piece of equipment you can use is 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 plumber service.  They can be purchased at most hardware stores.  What you do is insert the end of the auger into the toilet.  Then you push the handle forward and crank it in a clockwise motion.This will dislodge any debris and have the toilet cleared.

These two tools should do the trick.  But of course if it doesn’t then you will need a good plumber to come out.It requires a little bit more money than if you did 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 creates a lot of problems.
