Few household mishaps are as stressful — and messy — as a toilet bowl choke. One wrong flush and suddenly you’re watching water rise instead of drain. This usually happens due to excessive toilet paper, non-flushable items like wipes or sanitary products, or a gradual buildup in your plumbing.
The first line of defense? A plunger. Use firm, even thrusts to try to dislodge the clog. If that doesn’t work, a plumbing snake (manual or motorized) might reach deeper blockages. Still stuck? It’s time to call in the professional plumber.
To prevent future chokes:
- Flush only waste and toilet paper
- Keep a small trash bin nearby for everything else
- Avoid overusing toilet paper in one go
Maintenance matters too. Regular inspections and occasional drain cleaners can help keep things flowing.
Don’t wait for disaster. A small clog today can turn into a big, smelly problem tomorrow.
