Drain Cleaner

Clogged toilet drains can become problem for homeowners renters as well. The fear of backed up or overflowing toilets is not a very happy thought. The damage can be wet floors to the flooring materials becoming damaged as well. There are several options to help unclog the toilet drain and also some toilet drain cleaners to help prevent this problem.

It is recommended that most restrooms keep a ball-type plunger. In most cases, this handy and cost effect drain clearner tool can take care of the simple clog. The ball-type is recommended instead of the regular suction cup plunger as the ball-type will create more force and pressure for cleaning the toilet. Keep in mind there must be sufficient water in the toilet bowl when using the plunger.

If the plunger does not unclog the toilet, try a closet auger or a snake. The auger or snake will often have a crank to help the auger enter the bowl into the clogged area. The use of pushing and pulling will often unclog the drain. This natural drain cleaner will not place unwanted chemicals into the sewer systems.  If none of the other options work, the next step may depend on whether you are connected to a city water system of if you have a septic tank. If you are one the city water system, you may want to call a professional plumber or that the toilet from the floor to remove the clog. There is also the use of pressurized air to blast the clog away. If you own a septic tank, you may need to call and have someone clean out the septic tank. Sometimes this will need to be done to insure proper working condition of the septic tank system. If the septic tank is not the problem, one of the lines may be clogged or even may have roots from trees grow into and block the lines. Sometimes these can be removed by professionals, but it is not unheard of to have to run a new drainage line.  This can be a very expensive way for sewer drain cleaner, but is sometimes neccessary.
