Do this now

Stop the overflow first

These steps can limit water damage before the plumber arrives.

  1. Illustration of gently closing the toilet supply valve

    Close the toilet shutoff

    Turn the valve behind or beside the toilet clockwise. If it will not move, do not force it.

  2. Illustration of gently lifting the toilet tank float to stop refilling

    Stop the tank from refilling

    If the valve does not stop the water, remove the tank lid and gently lift the float. Close the home's main shutoff if needed and safe to do.

  3. Illustration showing not to flush the toilet again

    Do not flush again

    Another flush can push more water over the rim. Keep the toilet out of use until the blockage is cleared.

  4. Illustration of a towel containing a small clean-water overflow

    Contain the water

    Use towels or a shallow container for clean overflow water. Keep people and pets away if the water contains waste.

Call about a clogged toilet

Find the source

A toilet clog is not always a toilet repair

The right service depends on whether the obstruction is in the fixture, its branch drain, or the main line.

Clog-clearing problem

The bowl rises, drains very slowly, or will not clear after a normal plunging attempt.

Fixture-repair problem

The toilet runs, leaks at a connection, rocks at the base, or has damaged tank and flush parts without a drain blockage.

Possible causes

Why a toilet keeps clogging

The cause cannot be confirmed from the symptom alone. The plumber checks the system before recommending a method.

Too much paper or waste

A large load can lodge in the toilet trap or the branch drain beyond it.

Something that should not be flushed

Wipes, hygiene products, paper towels, and small objects can catch in the trap or drain line.

A restricted branch drain

Buildup or an obstruction farther from the bowl can cause slow flushing and repeat clogs.

A main-line blockage

If several fixtures are affected, the toilet may be the first place a larger sewer-line problem becomes visible.

Nate was awesome. Made everything very easy to understand and follow while going over my options and quote. Very forthcoming about issues without feeling pressured to commit to anything. He took pictures and video as he went to show the work being done and its efficacy. 10/10 would recommend.

Eric and Jevon arrived on time and went right to work on our clogged kitchen drain. They put a camera down the pipe and found excess buildup, then high-pressure cleaned the pipe throughout the entire run and solved the problem. Very professional throughout the entire job and respectful of the property.

Eric and Nate came and changed out our water heater. Eric was prompt and efficient. Very professional. He explained everything very well and worked with us to address all our needs. We have worked with Elite Rooter in the past and everyone who has ever come to our home have always done a fantastic job... Very happy with the work Eric and Nate have done today.

We had a water heater failure and a lot of water damage to our home on Friday Dec 21st. The professionals (Erik) at Elite Rooter Plumbing... showed up as promised on Christmas Eve to install a new water heater and make our day by restoring hot water to our home. Couldn’t speak more highly of the kind professionals at Elite Rooter plumbing!

Before you book

Clogged toilet questions

These answers cover the first decisions homeowners usually face when water is not draining normally.

What should I do if the toilet will not stop overflowing?

Close the toilet shutoff valve. If that does not stop the water and it is safe to do so, close the home's main shutoff and call for help.

Should I use a chemical drain cleaner in a toilet?

No. It may damage finishes or seals and can expose the plumber to chemicals when the toilet or drain is opened.

Why does the toilet clog again after plunging?

The obstruction may not be fully removed, or there may be a restriction farther down the branch or main line.

How can I tell whether the main line is involved?

Look for another slow or backed-up fixture, gurgling from a nearby drain, or water returning through a tub, shower, or floor drain.

Does a clogged toilet need to be replaced?

Usually not. Replacement is a separate decision based on cracks, fixture condition, repeated mechanical trouble, or another defect after the clog is cleared.
