Just like the other drains in your house, your toilet is prone to clogging. If you need some simple Toilet Repair solutions, read on! Peterson Mechanical can help you with your Toilet Repair and unclogging issues.
A plunger can help you solve most clogging issues. Place the plunger in the toilet bowl so that it completely covers the entrance and is submerged in the water. Keep this seal in place as you plunge. Start gently when plunging the toilet, then use the force of the water to remove the obstruction. Periodically flush the toilet to see if it is functioning properly, then continue pumping until the blockage is cleared.
In the event of a clogged toilet, you can turn to household chemicals. These products are also readily available at your local stores.
Drain cleaners can chemically break down any blockages in your toilet. Pour a good amount into the bowl, leave it for a few minutes, then use a plunger and flush until the toilet flushes again.
Bleach can help you unclog your toilet. Like with chemical drain cleaners, pour it into the bowl and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Go in with a plunger and check to see if the toilet is flushing like normal.
Pour one cup of baking soda and two cups of vinegar into the toilet bowl. Let the mixture rest for an hour, then flush the toilet to see if it is functioning properly.
A toilet snake is a long metal cable that can be sent down your toilet bowl and into its pipe. Your local plumbers or hardware store may have toilet snakes for sale or rent. To unclog your toilet, push the cable down and make short pulling motions.
