I have been called out on several occasions to toilets that won't flush.
This can happen for a variety of reasons, how ever, today I will be writing about the obscure items that shouldn't be flushed and how to prevent it.
Among these flushes there were accidents- like oops my sunglasses, make up, pens, plastic bottles, false teeth...etc
Other times it was on purpose. No your toilet and plumbing system is not indestructible to seafood shells, whole baked potatoes and entire pots of spaghetti.
Perhaps it was just because we didn't know any better aka- baby wipes, feminine hygiene products and dental floss. Oh my!
How ever, at some point in our lives we are just due for a lesson on flushables.... Or maybe it's time to move that shelving unit above your toilet some where- else. Another tip is to place signs, like my Grandma did, NO BUTTS! Thanks!- the septic tank.
Hopefully, it's a simple fix like that. If you find your calling in a plumber more than 1X to fix your toilet, and you have mitigated all your issues, you probably have a need for a larger repair- or a new toilet.
Luckily in today's market, we can scope, investigate and come up up with a solution for you. Regardless of what your needs, there's an answer! Feel free to send a message or give us a call if you're having some issues.
Happy flushing!
