Blocked toilet

As a plumber, we are often contacted for a clogged toilet problem. Before contacting a plumber, in order to save costs, you must try to unclog it with a siphon (siphon image). There is no secret to open a toilet with a siphon ... will with a little elbow juice!

On the other hand, if the problem persists, it is possible that the toilet blockage is too important for this technique. The question now is what is the cause that has clogged your toilet? One of the causes often met is an object that fell into the toilet and got stuck. We can then try to remove it or push it with a manual fish. Sometimes we have to remove the toilet to remove the object.

If your toilet seems clogged, it's also possible that it's not the toilet itself the problem, but rather a blocked drain problem. When your building drain is blocked, it gets filled up until your toilet is no longer able to evacuate ... that's when we have to pull out the heavy artillery. We must remove your toilet and use a large mechanical fish to unlock your drain. It is possible that it is a sudden and temporary blocking, but it is also possible that you have a problem of drain blockage which can be recurrent, for example of roots in your drain which risks to push back or a breakage in your drain . To be clear, we are doing a camera test.

You have a clogged toilet and need a plumber with experience, do not hesitate to contact us!
