CAUSES OF A CLOGGED TOILET BOWL
TOILET BOWL BLOCKAGE
The toilet is one of the most frequently used places in the home. This means that a clogged toilet can lead to unsanitary conditions and a very unpleasant cleaning experience. Understanding why a toilet clogs will help prevent future blockages. Here are some of the causes that can cause one of the dirtiest conditions in the toilet.
There is something stuck.
We’ve pulled a lot of strange things out of toilets over the years, most often small toys. For some reason, kids love to start their scientific careers by experimenting with household plumbing. Sometimes we even find the toilet brush (pigal) unscrewed. If the water drains smoothly on its own, but any solid material (like feces) is clogging or making the drain slow, it’s likely that a foreign object is the problem.



Feminine hygiene products are also a common culprit. If you have frequent visitors, make sure there is a covered trash can within easy reach of the toilet. It is possible that some women are trying to dispose of sanitary products somewhere and are too embarrassed to ask.
The only things that should go down the toilet are bodily waste. No paper, no floss, no napkins, no disposable tissues, no cotton balls, no anything else.
Your diet probably needs more fiber.
Meat-based diets may produce stools that are firmer than normal, which can lead to blockage. Certain medications can also cause stools to be particularly hard. If the toilet doesn’t block all the time, but only when certain people use it, this may be the cause.
If you add a few servings of vegetables and fruits a day to your diet, it will be good for both your drainage and your body!


If there is no way to fix the issue from a health perspective, you may need to get an energy-assisted toilet with more flushing power. You often see these types of toilets in public restrooms, where they can’t risk clogs. Energy-assisted toilets don’t cost much more than regular toilets, but they use a lot more water.
There is not enough water in the cistern.

If there is a problem with the toilet’s incoming water supply line, the toilet may not fill completely. The result is that the correct amount of water does not flow into the bowl when you flush.
Toilet bowl design.



Like anything else, a toilet can be designed well or badly. It’s not a matter of cost but of design. Regardless of the minimum volume of water used to flush the toilet, things like the width of the opening, the “neck” of the toilet drain, the angle of the toilet, and other details of its shape can either help or hurt each flush (pull).
Ventilation issues.
The drain system needs air flow to function. This is to prevent a vacuum from forming and holding the waste in place. If there is a problem with the vent pipe that goes to your roof, the pressure alone can prevent a proper flush. Over time, these vents can become clogged with leaves, twigs, and animal nests. A blocked toilet vent will reduce the flow of the drain and can cause regular blockages.
The water is too hard or too chlorinated.



Hard water is water that is full of minerals such as calcium. Over time, the minerals build up inside the sink and especially inside the drain pipe. In the city, the chlorine added to the water to kill bacteria can have a bad effect on any plastic or rubber parts in the sink.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BASIN – FAQ
If the toilet is not flushing properly, it may be due to one of the following problems:
– The water level in the cistern is set to a low water level.
– An obstruction is blocking the toilet, the flange or the drain.
– The inlet holes are blocked.
Normally, we shouldn’t flush toilet paper down the toilet. But if that happens and the paper is blocking the drain, try aspirin. Put an aspirin in the toilet bowl. It will dissolve tissues, toilet paper, and even paper towels. Just try it!
Vinegar and baking soda. You will need a pot of hot water, a cup of baking soda, and a cup of vinegar. Pour the baking soda into your toilet bowl. Then add the vinegar a little at a time to the water so that it doesn’t overflow. The mixture should start to foam and bubble immediately.
Take a cup of rock salt and add 9 liters of warm water to a bucket. Dissolve the salt completely in the bucket and pour it slowly into the toilet. Leave it overnight and flush in the morning. The rock salt in the toilet drain will break down grease and debris.
