Clogged Toilets

Clogged toilets are never fun! Your first thought may be to try “Drain-O” or other chemical drain cleaners to try to remove the clog. However, these caustic chemicals are often damaging to pipes, especially if your home is old. Your safest bet is the try a plunger first. Here are a few types of plungers and their correct usage:

Cup plungers

These are the most common type of plunger when you search on Google. These plungers are best suited for cleaning out sinks, tubs, and floor drains with flat surfaces. These are not ideal or toilets

Flange Plungers

Flange plungers are the plungers best suited for a stubborn clogged toilet. These plungers are designed to seal around the toilet to produce maximum plunging pressure.

Avoid using plungers made with hard plastics. These plungers form a poor seal around the drain and diminish plunging pressure, reducing your chances of clearing the drain.

How to prevent bathroom drain clogs and blockages

Prevention is worth a pound of cure! Here are a few tips on making sure your bathroom drains keep flowing:
Don’t flush anything besides toilet paper down the toilet. Tissues, paper towel, cu-tips, and cotton balls should always be put into the trash
Purchase a shower drain screen over the drain to catch any debris and loose hair

Clogged Bathroom sink drain

Just like the shower drain, the bathroom sink drain is susceptible to hair and soap clogs. If you find that your bathroom sink drain is slow to drain, use the same methods as the shower tub to clear the blockage.

Clogged Tub and Shower Drains

Soap scum and hair are the number one cause of clogged shower drains. While the strainer on the drain can catch the majority of debris, it is often not fine enough to catch the smaller strands of hair. Combine this with pieces of soap, which solidify when cold; this is a perfect recipe for a clogged drain. If you find that your drain is slow to drain, remove the strainer and use a piece of wire, or straightened coat hanger to remove any debris, you see in the piping. As always, avoid using any chemical drain cleaners. If the clog is still present, try pouring hot water down the drain to melt any soap that may have solidified over time.

Do you need help with your clogged bathroom drains?

If you have tried the methods above and your drain is still clogged, the blockage is likely further down the pipes. Give Ashton Plumbing a call and one of our licensed technicians can remove the clog with a powered drain snake or disassemble the piping.

How Do I Know If My Drains Need to Be Cleared?

The signs of a blocked drain can vary, depending on what type of system you have and where the blockage is. Common signs that you may need to clean your drains include: a slow draining sink or bath, water backing up in the shower or toilet when you flush, bad odors coming from the drain, and gurgling noises when draining water. If you see any of these signs, it’s time to call a professional plumber.

What Methods Do Professionals Use to Clear Drains?

Professional plumbers typically use either mechanical augers or hydro jetting technology to clear drains. Mechanical augers use a rotating cable to break up blockages, while hydro jetting uses high-pressure water jets to clear away debris.

How Can I Prevent Clogged Drains?

Regularly inspect and clean drains to keep them free of clogs. Inspections should be done on a monthly basis, especially if you have a high-traffic area in the house such as a kitchen or bathroom. Pay close attention to any minor changes in water flow and if you notice any strange smells or sounds coming from the drain, it’s best to act quickly and clean it out.
