Causes of a clogged toilet

A clogged toilet can have various causes. If you're going to unclog the toilet, it's helpful to first understand what caused the blockage. Some possible causes include:

Clogged toilet due to too much toilet paper

This is the most common cause of a clogged toilet. You can easily prevent this problem by using less toilet paper or by flushing the paper in smaller amounts. Using thin toilet paper can also help prevent blockages.

Clogged toilet due to limescale

Water contains limescale, and sometimes limescale can accumulate inside the pipes, which can lead to a clogged toilet.

Clogged toilet due to blockages

Larger items flushed down the toilet, such as diapers, tampons, sanitary pads, and wet wipes, can cause a blockage.

Blockage due to grease residue

Grease from food waste flushed down the toilet can also lead to a clogged toilet. Grease can quickly solidify, making it difficult for water to flow freely.

Through sewer inspection, we can determine the cause of the problem. Do you need help unclogging your toilet in Zaandam? Then contact RBNL by phone or make an appointment via our website.

Unclogging a toilet yourself or having it unclogged?

You have the choice to tackle the clog yourself or to call in a specialist. But when should you choose which option? For small and minor clogs, you can take a few steps yourself to resolve the blockage. For larger clogs or blockages that are deeper in the pipe, it is advisable to call in a specialist right away.

Please note: When unblocking your toilet with a plunger, some water often splashes over the toilet seat and onto the floor. This is normal and to be expected. Before our arrival, we recommend removing valuable or difficult-to-clean items from around the toilet. We do our best to minimize inconvenience and leave the area clean. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Do's and don'ts for toilet unclogging

For small and minor clogs, there are several methods you can use to unclog the toilet yourself:

Remove visible blockages with rubber gloves

If you see an object that has clogged the toilet, such as a diaper, tampon, sanitary pad, or wet wipes, try to carefully remove the blockage using rubber gloves.

Use baking soda to unclog the toilet

Flushing the toilet with baking soda can work wonders. First, remove all the water from the bowl. Then, pour a bucket of warm water and an entire package of baking soda into the bowl. Let this soak overnight, then flush gently to check if the clog has been resolved.

Unclog the toilet with baking soda and vinegar

A mixture of baking soda and vinegar can effectively dissolve and flush away limescale, preventing buildup inside the pipe. Carefully pour (the mixture will fizz) a mixture of baking soda and vinegar into the toilet bowl. Let this sit for half a night, then flush with warm water.

Use dish soap to unclog the toilet

Dish soap can also help with clogs caused by grease or paper. The dish soap helps bind water and grease, which can dissolve the clog. Mix warm water with a generous amount of dish soap and pour it into the toilet from a height of about one meter.

Try to avoid using tools

First, try the methods mentioned above before using tools like a plunger. Plungers can potentially damage the toilet pipe. Therefore, always opt for the aforementioned methods first or call in a specialist.

When unclogging the toilet, make sure not to use boiling water, as this can damage the porcelain of the toilet bowl. Also, cover the floor with old cloths, sheets, or newspapers before you start unclogging the toilet.

If you prefer to call in a specialist or if the methods mentioned above do not work, please contact us via our website or call us. Our certified plumbers will be happy to help you unclog your toilet in Zaandam.

Prevent a future clog

Since we know that our visit is never for a pleasant reason, we are happy to give you tips to prevent us from having to visit you again:

Limit the use of toilet paper and flush regularly. This prevents the drain from getting clogged by an accumulation of toilet paper. Using thinner paper (1 or 2-ply) can also help prevent a clog.
To prevent limescale buildup, flush the toilet regularly with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. This mixture dissolves limescale, keeping the drain free of buildup.
Do not flush food scraps, oil, or grease down the toilet. The toilet is not suitable for disposing of such materials. Grease residues, in particular, can easily harden and cause clogs.
Make sure that large items such as tampons, sanitary pads, diapers, or wet wipes do not end up in the toilet. Instead, place a small waste bin next to the toilet where you can dispose of these items.

If you encounter a blockage and need to unblock your toilet in Zaandam, enlist the help of our certified technicians. We are ready to solve any drainage problem for you, so you no longer have to worry about it. We understand that the reason for our visit is often already frustrating enough!
