Problem Guide
Clogged Toilet? Get the Blockage Diagnosed
A toilet clog may be isolated to the fixture or point to a larger drain-line issue.

Warning Signs
Toilet drains slowly
Water rises near the rim
Multiple toilets are affected
Gurgling occurs at nearby drains
Possible Causes
Excess paper or foreign material
Blocked trapway
Branch drain blockage
Main-line restriction
What To Do Now
Stop flushing if water is rising
Keep the area protected from overflow
Call for service if plunging does not restore normal flow
What Not To Do
Do not repeatedly flush an overflowing toilet
Do not mix chemical drain cleaners
How Tandem Mechanical Can Help
A technician can clear the blockage and determine whether additional drain or sewer diagnosis is needed.
