Common Causes of Toilet Clogs

Besides sinks, toilets are most prone to clogs. Whether it’s using too much toilet paper or flushing something you shouldn’t, clogged toilets are a nuisance and a danger.

Here are the most common reasons toilets clog.

Hard Water

You have hard water if it has high mineral content. Hard water wreaks havoc on pipes and plumbing fixtures because it leaves mineral deposits, which build up over time to form blockages.

Foreign Objects

If you have mischievous children, don’t be surprised if they’re the source of your clogged toilet. Once kids realize you can flush things down the toilet to make them disappear, some of them try to make it a game out of it and flush toys, socks, or what have you down the drain for fun.

Worn Pipes

When pipes crack, corrode, or deteriorate, they don’t perform as efficiently as when they were new, and you end up with slow drains and clogs. If you have a large household and put too much into the system at once, it won’t be able to handle it.

Non-Flushable Items

“Flushable” wipes are the bane of the plumbing industry because they’re only flushable in the sense that they go down the drain. These wipes don’t disintegrate like toilet paper, and they often cause toilet clogs.

Too Much Toilet Paper

We get it; sometimes, you need to use a lot of toilet paper. And although toilet paper dissolves in water, using too much of it at once will cause the toilet to back up. To solve this problem, flush the waste before you wipe, then flush the toilet paper.

You can prevent most clogged toilets by being mindful about what you flush. However, when you experience a clog you can’t fix with a plunger, call the certified plumbers at Grand Canyon Home Services.

Signs You Need Toilet Replacement

Many homeowners continue using their toilets long past their life expectancy, continuing to repair them when it gives them trouble. However, sometimes replacement is the better option, and here’s how to know when that’s the case for you.

Too Many Repairs

Repairing a toilet often makes more sense than replacing it, but it can quickly add up when you add up the cost of replacing all of the internal components. If you find you’re repairing your toilet more frequently, installing a new, more reliable model makes more economic sense.

Frequent Clogs

Does your toilet require frequent plunging to get it to flush properly? Many old low-flow toilets require more than one flush to get the job done and they’re plagued by random clogs. If this is a source of aggravation for you, maybe it’s time to upgrade.

Cracked Porcelain

Even tiny cracks in the porcelain can develop into water leaks, damaging flooring and support structures. Once a toilet develops cracks, it’s always better to replace it than to try and fix it.

High Water Bills

Water prices continue to rise across the country, and one way to get a handle on your water usage is by replacing your old toilet with a new low-flow model. Today’s low-flow toilets give you plenty of flushing power while reducing water usage by up to 60 percent.

If you think it’s time to invest in a new toilet, call the plumbing experts at Grand Canyon Home Services for a consultation.
