Clogged Toilet Repair Services & InstallationAccording to the EPA, toilets account for nearly 30% of an average home’s indoor water consumption. Therefore, replacing an older toilet has great potential for long-term water and money savings. Newer low-flow, high-efficiency toilets use less water, yet flush just as well. Dual flush toilets give the option of flushing two different quantities of water at each use, and can save even more.

Professional Solutions to Clogged Toilets
Is a plunger failing to dislodge the blockage in your clogged toilet? If so, it can be time to call a professional. Plumbers have specialized tools to help clear clogs. In most cases, a plumber will use an auger or hydro-jetting method to remove the blockage. An auger is a tool specifically designed for toilets. It consists of a hollow tube attached to an elbow fitting that’s covered by a rubber sleeve to protect the toilet bowl from scratches. It dislodges the clog with a flexible cable that’s fed through the toilet drain with a hand crank. With hydro jetting, a plumber will insert a high-pressure hose with special nozzles into the drain. The hose is connected to a machine that pressurizes the water, creating a force to dislodge the clog. |
There are a variety of toilets to fit every stage in your life and comfort desire. There are many choices for you to consider besides style and color. Other technology advances are driving greater comfort and convenience for these bathroom basics.
For example, some toilets now offer automated flushing, heated seats, mechanically controlled seats and lids, bidet-like functions and other spa-like features. |
