Toilet clogs\u00a0are just an inevitable and messy part of life. Even the best of us will have to deal with them at one point or another. However, if you have never handled a\u00a0clogged toilet\u00a0before, you may be at a loss of what to do when the water starts to overflow your bowl. Our Columbus plumbers share some tips about what to do when your toilet gets clogged.<\/p>\n

1. Plunge Away<\/strong>
\nHaving a plunger in your home is a necessity for emergency situations like these. A handy plunger can save you from\u00a0flooding your bathroom.<\/p>\n

The secret to a good plunging is the seal. Make sure you have a good seal to create a strong suction. Once sealed into place, plunge enthusiastically without splashing what\u2019s in the bowl. With a little work, you could have your toilet working in no time.<\/p>\n

2. Baking Soda and Vinegar<\/strong>
\nYes, the very same ingredients that children use in volcano science projects are great for unclogging your toilet. They are less expensive and safer on your plumbing than harsh cleaning chemicals.<\/p>\n

Heat a pot of water until it just starts to simmer, and then allow it to cool for five minutes. Pour one cup of baking soda into your clogged toilet, followed by two cups of vinegar. Add the hot water without overfilling the bowl. The unclogging process could take a couple of hours, but if the clog is weak enough, the reaction should take care of the problem.<\/p>\n

3. Liquid Dish Soap<\/strong>
\nUsing the liquid soap method can help you get everything moving in your pipes. Much like the baking soda and vinegar method, heat up a pot of water and then allow it to cool. Squirt a large amount of dish soap into your toilet bowl and allow it to settle.<\/p>\n

When pouring the water into the bowl, make sure to pour from at least a foot above the toilet. You should be using the force of the water to help force the clog through your soaped and slippery exit.<\/p>\n

4. Call a Plumber<\/strong>
\nWhen all else fails, turn to a professional. At The Eco Plumbers<\/a>, our team of Columbus plumbers has successfully tackled countless\u00a0clogs. When you need us most, we will be there to solve your messiest and most stubborn plumbing issues.<\/p>\n
