Typical problem people have with plumbing

One of the most common problems everybody has with plumbing is a clogged toilet.  Sometimes it is easy and a plunger will clear it.Then there will be some occassions when a plumber will be needed to come and 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 plumbing business.But these are some ways to fix it that most homeowners are going to be able to do.It doesn’t necessitate the use of expensive equipment.It won’t be necessary that you have extensive knowledge about plumbing to fix it.Just be able to understand instructions and you can do it yourself.

First of all you want to try 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 clear the toilet.

Next after the plunger is using 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 give the handle a push forward and then start cranking it clockwise.  This loosens any debris and clears the toilet.

These two tools should do the trick.But if it happens not to work you will have to call a good plumber anyways to come out.It costs more money than if you did it by yourself. But if you can’t do it, it is well worth it to get your plumbing fixed.  Because having a clogged toilet in the house is no fun.  Plus it creates a lot of problems.
