Clogged toilets are a fairly general problem in households and business establishments in New Orleans.
From our experience, the most common causes of blocked toilets are toilet paper and other sanitary products.
But there are other culprits of clogged toilets. It’s important that you get familiar with possible reasons for the blockage to eliminate these issues in the future.
This is the number one reason why toilets get clogged in New Orleans or in any other place in the world.
There are items that your toilet cannot handle no matter how modern the design of your toilet or piping system.
The good old-fashioned toilet paper toilet shouldn’t be flushing down your toilet including other items like paper towels, cotton balls, tampons and pads, and even so-called “flushable” wipes.
Keep in mind that all of these items are tougher than tissue paper. If tissue paper shouldn’t be in your toilet, then these items shouldn’t be found anywhere in your toilet drain as well.
Keep a large trash can in your bathroom where all of these non-flushable items will be easily disposed of so people using your toilet will not be tempted to flush them in your toilet.
If habits are not the cause of your clogged toilet, the next best reason is the type of toilet that you have.
The average toilet is designed to last up to 50 years, but the older your toilet gets, the tougher it may be for it to adequately break down waste.
First-generation, low-flow toilets, for example, are not equipped with the necessary pressure to flush your waste properly down the drain.
Even modern-flow toilets which were designed to help consumers conserve water have a design flaw that is prone to obstructions.
The form of these types of toilets lacks the necessary pressure to clean the internal trap and drain.
A toilet trap, also called a “p-trap”, is the curved part of the toilet fixture designed to hold standing water and prevent sewer gases from entering your home.
This part of your toilet can be clogged when an excessive amount of toilet paper or other items build up and create an obstruction. This will result in a nasty backup that will cause your toilet to overflow.
Most modern toilets are equipped with modern plumbing fixtures like a roof vent to flush air into your pipes. This mechanism prevents pressure vacuums that can interfere with the flow of your drains.
These vents can sometimes be blocked by debris like leaves, sticks, or animal nests. This can interrupt the proper drainage of your system, thereby causing a clog in your toilet.
It is best to call a professional for plumbing vent issues because these blockages are difficult to spot and will require special tools. We can send our expert plumbers to provide solutions for such problems.
Maybe a clogged toilet is not the main issue. If there are multiple clogs in your piping system, it is most likely that the main problem is a clog in your larger sewer system.
A series of toilet clogs may be caused by the build-up of waste or other materials in your sewer lines. Sometimes, tree roots grow into sewer lines because the moisture inside acts as a natural fertilizer.
We provide solutions to sewer line issues that can cause serious problems inside and outside your home. Our pros will tackle any sewer-related issue to prevent bigger problems in the future.
