3 Best Tips to Resolve Toilet Flushing Issues

Experiencing problems when it comes to toilet flushing can be extremely irritating. You just had an amazing time answering the call of nature, when suddenly, your toilet bowl is unable to flush your poop.

Check out the site sosplomberie.be for some great cleaning service.

Does this mean you have to contact a blocked drain repair specialist right away? Perhaps. However, it’s important that you also know the basics in fixing issues related to toilet flushing. Otherwise, you’re going to spend a lot of money just to pay for professional fees when you can do it yourself.

There are times though when a toilet still flushes, although it won’t flush to its full potential. If this case happens to you, you might want to flush it several times to fix the clogging. A lot of times, this solution would suffice. Unfortunately, there are incidents when several flushing won’t do and you have to find the source of the problem.

So, what are the common toilet flushing problems experienced by most households and how can these be repaired without the need to contact a professional plumber? Read on.

Clogged Toilet

Clogged toilets are perhaps the most common cause of flushing problems. In most cases, this is due to paper balls.

How to Fix 

You can use a plunger to fix the problem. If clogging is still present, use a large bucket of water and pour it down the toilet.

Toilet Tank Has Insufficient Water

To review how the toilet bowl flushes, the water directly flows into the water tank. Afterward, the water will then be suctioned with enough pressure to clean and clear the bowl out.

But if there isn’t enough water to do the flushing, chances are, suctioning would not be enough and the water will not be completely flushed. If the pressure is indeed weaker and the water just stays in the bowl without being flushed, you have a problem.

How to Fix

Most toilet bowls today have a mark located on the inside surface to indicate the amount of water it should hold when flushing. Normally, the water continuously flows to the toilet bowl once the flushing is complete and until it reaches the mark. Once this happens, the inlet automatically closes

Make sure that the water’s surface should be just below the overflow tube of the tank. If you notice the water being too low, you need to readjust the tank’s float.

Clogged Inlet Pipe 

Once the toilet bowl has been flushed, you should see the water flowing out of the tank, then, going through the orifices which are just below the bowl’s rim. There are areas where the water is hard water, or those carrying mineral deposits. If this is the case, clogging of the holes is highly possible due to the continuous mineral deposits carried by the water. 

How to Fix 

Before fixing it, it’s important to first cut the water supply connected to your toilet. Then, drain the tank until it is completely empty. Once this is done, open the fill valve and pour some hot vinegar. This can dissolve the mineral deposits for a few hours. Make sure that until the minerals have been completely dissolved, use another toilet as of the moment.

When  you’re done, you can close the fill valve and turn back the water supply on. Once the water reaches the right level, try flushing it and see if the flushing is now normal. If the problem persists, you need to manually remove the accumulated minerals with the use of a slim tool.

The Ultimate Solution

Always remember though that if you’re still unable to fix these problems regardless of how much DIY repair effort you’ve tried, your last resort would be to contact a licensed professional. This ultimate solution can prevent other problems from taking place.
