Common Causes of Toilet Clogs

Toilet clogs can happen for many reasons, and not all of them are caused by faulty plumbing. The most frequent culprits include:

• Flushing non-dissolvable items like paper towels, baby wipes, diapers, or sanitary products
• Using excessive toilet paper, especially thick, ultra-soft brands
• Foreign objects flushed accidentally, often by young children (toys, shampoo caps, etc.)
• Aging fixtures that don’t flush efficiently due to mineral buildup or worn parts
• Sewer line blockages deeper in the system that impact multiple drains

At Northlake Plumbing, we quickly diagnose the root of the issue and implement the most effective solution—whether that’s a simple fix or a full sewer line inspection.

Warning Signs You Need Toilet Repair or Replacement

Don’t wait until your toilet overflows. Watch for these early signs that you may need professional toilet repair:

• Gurgling or bubbling sounds after flushing
• Slow draining or weak flush even with normal use
• Overflowing or standing water in the bowl
• Frequent need for plunging or repeated clogs
• Multiple clogged fixtures—this could indicate a deeper sewer line issue

If you’re constantly repairing the same toilet, it may be time to consider a toilet replacement. Our team will recommend options that fit your home, water efficiency goals, and budget.

How to Prevent Toilet Clogs

Clogged toilets can be messy, inconvenient, and even hazardous if they lead to overflows or water damage. Here are some easy ways to reduce your risk:

• Never flush wipes, tampons, diapers, or cotton products
• Use modest amounts of toilet paper—or flush in stages
• Keep a trash bin near the toilet for non-flushable items
• Educate children about what should and shouldn’t go down the toilet
• Install childproof toilet locks if you have toddlers
• Avoid harsh drain chemicals—they can damage your plumbing
