A stopped-up toilet can be extremely maddening, never mind messy. Luckily, all is not lost. Before exhausting themselves trying to unclog their toilet, a good professional can come in and locate the problem, in addition to checking for any other possible causes. By utilizing a closet auger, or as it’s famously known a “plumbing snake,” things can be cleared up in no time. The task may seem simple, but if it were so, plumbers would be out of a job. Even though there are plenty of toilet clog removal gadgets to assist consumers, many times a professional is needed to do the job properly.

A sluggish or feeble flush may mean that your toilet drain is clogged up. Of course, it is best to avoid such situations if possible. Being careful about what’s flushed down the toilet is the number one antidote. If there are toddlers running around the home, making sure that the toilet lid is shut at all times will save a many professional house calls to the plumber. Flushing heavy paper items such as paper towels, napkins, and even some toilet papers can also clog up a toilet, and are best avoided.The toilet auger is a certain tool that has an equalizing hand crank, a long slim handle and a specific auger piece at the end. This is used to retrieve items that may be clogging up the toilet such as a piece of cloth or a sponge. The auger’s reach is around three feet and is a bit flexible so that it can bend and twist easily. Toilet augers may not look like much but they are quite useful for eradicating whatever is clogging up the toilet, and a professional plumber will know how to use it efficiently. At least a Los Angeles Plumber will make sure all clogging has been dispersed. Whereas someone doing the unclogging themselves, may be met with the same clogging problem not too long after.

In the beginning, a professional plumber may not feel anything at all when using the toilet auger. However, upon insistent probing, there’s usually an object such as a toy, or ball of hair in the way. Commonly, people flush liquids down the toilet such as cooking grease as well. This type of liquid can get stuck to the drain, and eventually build up, causing the toilet to clog. It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it. Let a professional do it for you.
