Why does my toilet keep clogging even after I plunge it?

Recurring toilet clogs often indicate a deeper blockage in your drain line or main sewer line. Build-up from paper products, mineral deposits, or partial obstructions can restrict flow and cause frequent backups. Our plumbers use professional augers and video inspection tools to locate and remove the root cause of the problem.

What should I do if my toilet overflows when I flush?

Immediately shut off the water supply valve located behind or near the toilet. Avoid flushing again to prevent further overflow. Then call The Plumbing Joint for same-day service. Our team can quickly clear the blockage, sanitize affected areas, and check for deeper plumbing issues that could cause recurring floods or water damage.

Can frequent clogs damage my plumbing system?

Yes. Constant pressure from repeated blockages can weaken pipes and lead to leaks or cracks. Overflowing water can also damage flooring and drywall, creating ideal conditions for mold growth. Professional diagnosis prevents small issues from developing into major plumbing repairs.

What are the most common causes of toilet clogs?

Flushing too much toilet paper, non-flushable items like wipes or feminine products, or buildup from mineral deposits can all lead to clogs. In some older Renton and Seattle homes, tree roots or aging sewer lines contribute to more severe blockages. Our plumbers can identify the exact cause with specialized inspection equipment.

Should I use chemical drain cleaners for a clogged toilet?

Chemical drain cleaners can corrode pipes and damage the porcelain surface of your toilet. They often fail to remove solid obstructions and can create toxic fumes. It is safer to have a licensed plumber clear the clog using professional drain equipment.

How can I tell if the clog is in the toilet or deeper in the sewer line?

If only one toilet is affected, the issue is likely within that fixture. When several drains or toilets are slow or backing up, the blockage is probably deeper in the main line. Our plumbers can confirm the exact location using camera inspection tools.

Professional Plumbing Solutions

Not getting a professional repair for your clogged toilets can have a negative impact on your home. Water damage can seep into walls, flooring, and cabinetry when overflows happen over and over. This also carries the threat of mold and mildew. If the clogged toilet is the result of a deeper plumbing concern, the pressure of a clogged toilet could stress cracked pipes until they become leaks. You may also have an obstruction that needs to be professionally removed before it becomes a more serious problem.

Some of the toilet problems we repair include:

Worn components
Leaks in hoses and pipes
Clogs
Slow-filling tank
Overflows caused by clogs

Our team of licensed, bonded, and insured professionals can also remove items that have been flushed, such as a child’s toy.

I had a Great Experience with the plumber LT from The Plumbing Joint. He showed up when the phone answering service said he would and. He had an urgency in his step. LT was on the run from the time he got here to when he drove away. Price was a bit high but what plumbing company isn’t these days. That is why I appreciated the speed of his service. 5 Star Service!!

Jason was awesome! Professional, kind, and clearly communicated even after the repair went sideways. He worked quickly and thoroughly, getting our hot water running again with confidence. Grateful for him being available on a Friday evening too! Great experience overall that makes me trust The Plumbing Joint with future needs/projects - especially if they can send Jason!

It was a bigger job than I expected. 50 feet of 3/4 inch gas line. Nearly 6 hours of labor wrestling the pipe through ceilings and walls to get to each end location. LT and Kenny worked hard and cleaned up their work areas perfectly.

Amazing company to do business with. Contacted them about needing our septic tank pumped at 12:30pm. They came and pumped our septic at 4pm the same day. Urbano was a great guy and gave me some great advice. I will definitely be doing business with them in the future.
