Frequent toilet clogs are one of the most common—and frustrating—plumbing problems homeowners face, especially in households with kids, guests, or older plumbing systems. Dukes of Air & Plumbing is helping families across Mesa, Gilbert, and the East Valley prevent unnecessary clogs and avoid costly plumbing emergencies.
High-use bathrooms are more likely to experience recurring toilet issues, but many of these problems can be prevented with a few practical habits and timely maintenance.
Common Causes of Toilet Clogs:
-
Excessive Toilet Paper Use: Too much toilet paper in a single flush is one of the leading causes of clogs. Encourage family members, especially children, to use a reasonable amount.
-
Flushing Non-Flushable Items: Wipes labeled “flushable,” cotton swabs, feminine hygiene products, paper towels, and even dental floss should never go down the toilet. These items don’t break down like toilet paper and can cause serious blockages.
-
Low-Flow Toilet Issues: Older low-flow models may lack the flushing power of today’s updated designs. If your toilet frequently clogs despite proper use, it may be time to consider an upgrade.
-
Partial Blockages in the Drain Line: Over time, buildup inside the pipes can lead to slow draining and repeated clogs. A professional inspection or drain cleaning may be necessary to restore full flow.
-
Hard Water Build-Up: East Valley homes often experience mineral build-up from hard water, which can reduce flushing power and restrict pipe diameter.
Dukes of Air recommends regular maintenance to keep bathroom plumbing in peak condition. Simple steps like using septic-safe toilet paper, keeping a wastebasket nearby for non-flushables, and scheduling a professional drain cleaning can go a long way toward preventing backups and emergencies.
For homes with older toilets or pipes, a plumbing inspection can help identify underlying issues before they turn into major repairs. Dukes of Air & Plumbing offers expert plumbing services throughout Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, and surrounding areas.
