Clogged toilets are a common plumbing problem in homes. Some of the common causes of toilet clogs include mineral buildup in the drain lines, flushing inappropriate items, and sewer line obstructions. A clogged toilet can turn your day upside down, especially when you have no idea how to get rid of the clog. Thankfully, you don’t always have to call a plumber to clear toilet clogs. There are several DIY techniques you can employ to handle toilet clogs like a pro.
Today, the professional plumbers at Urgent Rooter explore the common DIY solutions for clogged toilets. If you’re in need of toilet repair or replacement, we are the experts to call for reliable and affordable service.
One of the easiest ways to tackle a clogged toilet is by using a natural remedy: baking soda and vinegar. Start by pouring about a cup of baking soda into the toilet bowl, followed by a cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to allow it to fizz and break down any blockages. Afterward, flush the toilet to see if the clog has cleared. It’s a simple, eco-friendly method to try before calling in the pros for toilet repair.

A plunger is an essential tool when dealing with toilet clogs. For most clogs, a good plunge is all it takes to restore normal flow. When using the plunger, ensure the rubber head is fully submerged, and apply firm, consistent pressure to create a vacuum effect. Repeat the process a few times if needed, and don’t forget to wear gloves for hygiene. This quick and easy solution can save you time and frustration.
If a plunger doesn’t do the trick, a toilet auger (or snake) is your next best tool for tackling stubborn clogs. This long, flexible tool can reach deep into the toilet’s drain to break apart or dislodge blockages. Simply feed the auger into the drain, turn the handle, and push forward until you feel the obstruction. Once the blockage is cleared, flush the toilet to ensure everything is working smoothly again.
If all else fails and your toilet remains clogged, it’s time to call a plumber. Professional plumbers have the tools, expertise, and experience to handle even the toughest clogs. They can quickly diagnose the issue and determine if there’s a larger underlying problem, such as a blocked sewer line. Calling in a professional ensures that the clog is cleared safely and effectively, so you can get back to your routine without further hassle.
