A common problem people have with plumbing

One of the most common problems everybody has with plumbing is a clogged toilet.There will be times when it is easy and all you will need is a plunger.  Other times it may require a plumber to come out and fix it.But for many people what I am going to share should be enough that will help you fix it without the use of a plumber.

Now these are some tricks I have picked up running my Temecula plumbing business.  But these are tricks that the average homeowner should be able to do.It doesn’t necessitate the use of expensive equipment.  You don’t need to know all about the plumbing to fix it.  Just follow some directions and you can fix it.

First of all you want to try a plunger.Most everyone will own a plunger and you can use it to clear a lot of clogged toilets.The plungers that work the best will have a fold out cup.That cup is what you are going to fit into the toilet trap.That is what causes the good suction.  All you then have to do is use and even back and forth motion.This should be able to clear the toilet.

Next piece of equipment after a plunger 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 plumbing service.You can get them at most of your hardware stores.  What you do is insert the end of the auger into the toilet.Then you take the handle and push it in while you crank it clockwise.  This loosens any debris and clears the toilet.

These two tools should do the trick.  But of course if it doesn’t then you will need a good plumber to come out.  It is more expensive then doing it yourself. But when you are unable to do it yourself, it is worth it to get it fixed.Because when the toilet of the house is clogged it isn’t very pleasant.Plus it will lead to a lot of other problems.
