7 Reasons Why Toilets Get Clogged So Often

Insufficient Water in Tank

If the flush tank is not filled with water when flushing, it means there is not enough pressure to flush the toilet.

Ensure the water supply valve is in the open, and check for possible leaks in the water supply line.

Clogged S-Trap

The s-trap pipe behind the toilet is designed to prevent sewage gas from entering your home through the toilet.

Although they are beneficial in this regard, they are also prone to clogs. Use a plunger to sufficiently clear small obstructions present in the drain pipe.

Major Sewer Problems

Frequent blockages of commodes and gutters are typically an indication of problems with main sewers.

A clogged faucet is caused by the accumulation of dirt, toilet paper, and non-flushable items in the sewer system.

Tree roots can also pierce pipes; carry sediment and other rubbish, causing a blockage.

  • Most modern toilets use ceiling vents to allow fresh air in the piping system.

With time, leaves, branches, and animal nests can block these vents. A clogged commode outlet reduces drainage and may cause frequent blockages.

  • It is best to hire a professional to clean the vent because vent blockages are hard to find and require special tools to remove them.

You may look for dedicated plumbing websites such as https://pioneercomfortsystems.com/ to get the best expert service.

Non-Flushable Items Flushed

Your toilet is meant to flush certain substances only. For example, toilet paper dissolves quickly in water, so there are few problems.

However, Flushing other items such as cotton swabs, paper towels, cotton balls, wet tissues, napkins, and dental floss can restrict drainage and cause permanent blockage.

If you have children, tell them they cannot flush things in the toilet that can cause it to get clogged.

The Problem with the Toilet Flapper

The flapper is part of the toilet that drains the water from the back of the tank into the bowl, thereby cleaning it up.

If the flapper does not open fully, there is not enough water released, which means the washing effect won’t be good enough. Clogs are common in low-flow toilets.

Moderate Septic System

A moderate septic tank system, or a septic tank system that is blocked and does not rotate fast enough, may clog your toilet.

Therefore, it is essential to maintain a healthy septic tank system. Depending on the size of your household and tank, clean your septic tank every one to three years.

Old Pipework

Crumpled pipes can also cause clogging problems. Backwash sludge is usually the first sign, but the slow discharge of multiple toilets or other sewage in the home indicates that the problem may be more serious.

Over time, fixing may become more expensive contact the professionals as soon as you can.
