Toilet Clogs

Yes, even wipes labeled “flushable” should not be flushed down the toilet. These materials can easily cause blockages in the system, and they aren’t meant to break down like toilet paper is. NEVER put anything down your toilet except toilet paper. If a clog deeper in your plumbing is causing problems or you can’t figure out why your toilet is clogged, call on the pros at Earl’s Plumbing.

DIY Toilet Clog Solutions

We all know that we try to solve toilet clogs on our own before calling in backup. Having a plunger on hand is extremely important to start with. The most effective plungers are the ones with a flange that fits right up against the toilet drain. If this doesn’t work to dislodge the clog, you may have to use other substances.

Acidic or caustic liquids work to dissolve and disperse clogs. Some DIY substances to try are baking soda, hot water or even Coca-Cola. If these tactics don’t work, we recommend avoiding the chemical drain cleaners. The more caustic solutions you put down your pipes, the more your pipes suffer.
