Professional Solutions To Clogged Toilets

When your toilet clogs, your first step is likely to grab your plunger and try to remove the clog yourself. While this might work – it isn’t always successful. If you’re unable to remove the blockage yourself, it’s time to call in a professional.

Our experts at Rocket Rooter Plumbing have specialized tools to accurately remove clogs at your Lake County, FL home. Two methods they often use are augers and hydro jetting.

Augers are tools specifically created for toilets. They have a hollow tube attached to an elbow fitting that’s covered by a rubber sleeve to protect the toilet bowl from scratches. The plumber feeds a flexible cable through the toilet drain with a hand crank to dislodge the blockage.

When using a hydro jetting technique, a plumber inserts a high-pressure hose with special nozzles into the drain. The hose is connected to a machine that pressurizes the water, creating a force to dislodge the clog.

Are there foul odors coming from your drains? It can indicate a blockage. Call us for drain cleaning services in Lake County and the surrounding areas.

Signs Your Toilet Needs To Be Replaced

Is it time to replace your toilet? There are signs you should watch for that can signal it’s time to install a new unit. These can include:

Age

If your toilet is older and requires replacement parts to keep it functioning.

Cracks

Because most toilets are made of porcelain, they are prone to cracks in the bowl and tank cover. These can eventually cause water damage in your home.

Frequent clogs

Older toilets might have design issues that prevent water from properly pushing through the toilet with enough force. This can lead to clogs forming.

Wear and tear

As your toilet ages it can develop scratches from wear and tear. These scratches can show stains and cause dirt to cling to them, making the toilet more difficult to clean over time.

Increased utility bills

If you notice an increase in your utility bills it can signal your aging toilet is no longer efficient and is using more water than it needs to.
