Sometime or another every homeowner is faced with a toilet that backs up. Toilet problems are stressful because there’s usually some urgency involved. I'm going to explain how to get rid of the problem in an easy and simple way!

1) Maybe a foreign object may have ended up in the toilet bowl by accident. Maybe one of the children accidentally put a toy in the toilet. In this case you may be able to fish the object out, making sure you wear gloves.

2) I always wait for the water in the toilet to drop to a normal level and I pour a bucket of hot water in the bowl.

3) The pressure will dislodge blockages and send them on their way.

4) If That doesn’t work I use a plunger to clear the toilet. If nothing works you may need to call a plumber.

5) I’m lucky that my son is a plumber. He checks everything for me , toilets, leaky taps, and showers. With my leaking tap he had to change the washer.

I hope my tips helped, good luck with your toilet issues!
