When Should I Call a Plumber for a Clogged Toilet?
Clogged toilets are always an irritant. Beyond that, they have the potential to cause real damage if not addressed in a timely manner. At Gundlach’s Plumbing, we want to educate our clients on how to navigate situations of clogged pipes. Keep reading to learn some common signs that it’s time to call a plumbing service for help with a clogged toilet.
If you’ve already tried plunging, using a plumbing snake, and pouring hot water down the drain with no success, it’s time to call in the professionals. Gundlach’s plumbing service has the tools and knowledge to address even the most stubborn clogs. If your toilet clogs on a regular basis, there is likely an underlying plumbing issue that needs to be addressed. Repeatedly clogged toilets are often a sign of a damaged sewer line. Gundlach’s plumbing services can examine your sewer pipes to inspect your sewer lines for damage. Sewer lines can be damaged by tree roots, corrosion, or construction. If our plumbers detect damage to your sewer line, we will recommend the appropriate course of action. If you notice that your toilet is gurgling, this is typically an indicator that there is an underlying problem with your sewer and plumbing. First, this could mean there is an issue with the plumbing vent stack. A plumbing vent stack allows air to escape from the plumbing system. If this vent stack becomes blocked, the air will escape through the toilet, causing it to gurgle. Additionally, a gurgling toilet may also be an indicator of a blocked sewer line. A blocked sewer line can cause serious plumbing issues and can even lead to flooding. If your toilet is gurgling, it’s important to call a plumbing service right away. Gundlach’s emergency plumbing line is open at all hours for your convenience. Another instance in which emergency plumbing services may be necessary is when a foreign object is flushed down your toilet. This mainly occurs in households with children who flush their toys. If a foreign object becomes lodged in the plumbing system, it can cause serious plumbing problems. In some cases, the object may reach the drain line and cause damage to sewer septic lines. If you are aware of this happening in your home, call Grundlach’s plumbing services as soon as possible. We have the tools and knowledge necessary to remove foreign objects from plumbing pipes without causing damage. 
When You’ve Already Tried Everything, It’s Time for a Plumbing Service
In some cases, your plumbing pipes may be too old or corroded to be cleared with a plunger or a plumbing snake. In these cases, a plumbing service may recommend repiping your entire plumbing system. This is typically a last resort, but it can be an effective way to address stubborn plumbing issues.
