A common problem people have with plumbing

One of the most common problems everybody has with plumbing is a clogged toilet.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 steps that most homeowners will be able to do.It doesn’t necessitate the use of expensive equipment.You aren’t required to be expert in plumbing to know how to fix it.Just be able to follow the directions and you should be able to fix it.

First thing you have to do is use a plunger.  Everyone has a plunger and most clogged toilets can be freed from it.The plungers that are really effective will have fold out cup.  That cup fits into the toilet trap.  That allows a good suction.Then all you are going to need to do is use an even back and forth motion.This should do the trick in clearing the toilet.

Another piece of equipment you can use is a toilet auger.  What it looks like is a J shaped tube and cable.  Sort of like a drain snake.  It is one of my most used tools for my Murrieta plumber service.They can be bought at your typical hardware store.  What you do is insert the end of the auger into the toilet.Then you give the handle a push forward and then start cranking it clockwise.  This loosens any debris and clears the toilet.

These two pieces of equipment should be able to accomplish it.  But of course if it doesn’t then you will need a good plumber to come out.It costs more money than if you did it by 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.
