Common Causes of Clogged Toilets

Toilet clogs are one of the most common plumbing issues. Here’s what typically causes them:

  • Excessive Toilet Paper Use – Thick, high-density toilet paper can take longer to break down.
  • Flushing Non-Flushable Items – Wipes, paper towels, cotton swabs, and hygiene products should never be flushed.
  • Foreign Objects – Small toys, toothbrushes, and pet-related items can accidentally end up in the toilet.
  • Low-Flow Toilets – Older low-flush models may lack the power to push waste through effectively.
  • Sewer Line Issues – Persistent toilet clogs could indicate a deeper blockage in your sewer line.

If plunging doesn’t work, it’s time to call a professional plumber!   

Our Clogged Toilet Repair Solutions

At The Waterworks, we use the latest tools and techniques to clear toilet clogs safely and effectively.

1. Plumbing Auger (Toilet Snake) Service

  • A flexible, cable-like auger is inserted into the toilet drain to break apart tough clogs.
  • Safer than chemical drain cleaners, which can corrode pipes over time.
  • Effective for removing lodged foreign objects without damaging plumbing.

2. Drain Flushing & Hydro-Jetting

For deep-set clogs or slow-draining toilets, we use:

  • High-pressure water flushing to clear stubborn debris.
  • Hydro-jetting to remove grease, mineral buildup, and tree root intrusion.

If your toilet is experiencing frequent clogs or slow drainage, our team can inspect your sewer line to identify any hidden blockages.  

How to Prevent Toilet Clogs

Preventative maintenance can save you from unexpected plumbing emergencies. Follow these simple tips:

  • Use Toilet Paper in Moderation – Opt for septic-safe, fast-dissolving toilet paper and avoid excessive use.
  • Never Flush Non-Flushable Items – Only toilet paper and waste should be flushed—no wipes, tissues, or hygiene products.
  • Educate Small Children – Teach kids what should and shouldn’t be flushed to prevent accidental blockages.
  • Schedule Regular Drain Cleaning – If you experience frequent toilet clogs, professional drain cleaning can prevent major plumbing problems.

By following these simple steps, you can keep your toilet running smoothly and avoid costly repairs.

The service person who came was very kind and on time. I was hoping there was record of what electrician they had come out to install the outlet for my sump pump they installed 6 years ago, but they said they don't keep records that long ago which was unfortunate, since it the faulty outlet that stopped the sump pump from working which then caused my basement to flood.

I never hesitate to call The Waterworks for any of my downspout, drainage, or other needs. They’re professional, honest, and find the most efficient solution. Today, Travis was out to my house, listened to my concerns, took the time to thoroughly investigate the possible causes. He even got on a ladder to check my very full gutter!! One problem solved—just like that! What a gentleman!! I’m so grateful.

Jordan came out, scoped the downspout pipes that were clogged up, removed a bunch of roots and other debris, and also cleaned out the rock-filter box by the road that the pipes dump the water into. (Water had been pouring over our gutters during rains so we assumed the pipes were plugged up before calling Waterworks.) He did a great job and is a super nice young man! 👏👏

Matt Sunnenberg did a wonderful job diagnosing the problem with our AC. He knew what the issue was before opening the compartment to show me the AC coil unit. 19 years old and the rust and decay of the unit was amassing to see. Matt explained all of our options and the cost involved. His advice to replace all of the AC components made the most sense and we felt most confident in his recommendation. Because of the delay in getting the new AC unit ordered and installed, Matt did us a big favor by adding enough Freon to our existing unit in order to keep the house cool temporarily. Thank you, Mike

The appointment couldn't have gone better. It appears that the hose from the water softener had come loose from the drain pipe and that's what was causing the water problem. Thanks for coming out . I hope the problem was taken care of. I wasnt charged as he was there for less than 15 minutes.

Jonle was wonderful to work with from the start. Patrick was excellent- knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and quickly followed up with a quote and timeframe even though the service manager was out of the office that day. I received prompt communication the next morning about the tech’s arrival window, additional text reminders, and even a call the following morning asking if we’d like to move up our timeframe due to a cancellation. Our service tech Chad was kind, professional, got the job done quickly and spent time answering my questions & talking me through everything. I felt very confident in the work he did and information he provided. Their pricing was competitive and significantly better than one of “bigger” names out there (a company we will never be using again now that we’ve found Jonle). It was more in line with other fairly priced companies. Everything was excellent from start to finish and we will use them again in the future and also recommend to others!

Someone's day is about
to get better.
