A clogged toilet isn’t just annoying—if the toilet overflows, you could end up with a hazardous mess on your hands that could potentially cause water damage to your bathroom and other surrounding rooms. At On-Deck Plumbing, we can help you out whenever you have a clogged toilet.
But before our plumbing professionals arrive to help you out with your clogged toilet, there are some things you should avoid doing to prevent making the situation worse. Here are few things you shouldn’t do when you have a clogged toilet:
- Don’t panic—Whatever you do, don’t panic. Call our plumbing professionals as soon as you can, and we’ll arrive quickly to take care of the problem.
- Don’t use chemical drain cleaners—Commercial drain cleaners contain caustic chemicals that can damage your pipes and your toilet. It’s best to avoid these cleaners altogether, especially since they aren’t always effective at resolving clogs.
- Don’t use other fixtures in the bathroom—You never know where a clog could be located in your plumbing system. While the clog may be in the pipes directly by the toilet, the clog could be somewhere else in your bathroom’s plumbing that can affect other fixtures. Until the clog is resolved, avoid using the bathtub, shower, or sink in that bathroom.
Once we arrive at your home, we’ll take care of your clogged toilet right away, so you can get back to what you need to do for the day. Contact us today to learn more about our plumbing services!
