            Clogged Toilet

            Toilet Clogged?

            As little as 1 inch of water in your home can cause $25,000 worth of damage. If you have a clogged toilet, it could quickly cause huge amounts of harm. So what are some of the critical signs that you need to call in a professional? This article lists five instances where you should call a plumber to fix your clogged toilet.

            1. The Plunger Isn’t Working

            One of the biggest tell-tale signs that it’s time to call the plumber is when you can’t clear a toilet clog using the plunger. In most cases, this means the toilet is so clogged that no DIY methods will work to clear it.  Generally speaking, if you use the plunger for five to ten minutes and don’t notice a difference, it isn’t going to work. A plumber has the special equipment needed to clear these kinds of stubborn blockages.

            2. A Foreign Object Is Clogging the Toilet

            Another reason you should call a plumber is if you know there’s a foreign object blocking the toilet. For example, maybe your child put a toy in there. If you can’t get the thing out yourself, it will almost always cause problems.  It’s best to just call a plumber straight away before your toilet starts backing up.

            3. The Toilet Is Overflowing With Sewage

            Another critical problem is when you have a backed-up toilet that is overflowing with sewage. Sewage can cause a serious health hazard for you and your family, so you’ll want to fix the problem as soon as possible. In this situation, don’t delay and call a plumber straight away. If a toilet overflows with sewage for long enough, it could do some severe damage to your home. So much so that you might need to move out while repairs are completed. Don’t risk it – call a plumber as soon as possible.

            4. Your Toilet Is Backing Up Into Shower

            You also need to call a plumber if it seems like your toilet is backing up into the shower. The plumbing of your shower and your toilet are usually connected, so this kind of problem is quite common.  If a DIY fix such as a plunger doesn’t work, it’s time to call the professionals.

            5. You Suspect the Pipes May Be Frozen

            If the pipes in your toilet freeze over, this can cause serious damage to your toilet. When the weather gets extremely cold, it can be quite difficult to unfreeze the pipes yourself. The best solution is to call a plumber with special tools to make the pipes unfreeze. A plumber’s thawing machine will have your pipes working correctly in no time.

            Don’t Delay Fixing a Clogged Toilet

            The longer you leave a clogged toilet, the worse the problem will get. If you can’t fix the clog yourself using a DIY solution within ten minutes, it’s time to call in the pros.
