A clogged toilet is a most distressing thing to have to face in the morning. It is not a good thing at any time of day, of course. But dealing with a clogged toilet before you have even had your coffee is just too much to ask. Fortunately, a toilet clog can usually be cleared with only a few simple tools, properly applied. The best possible plan is to prevent the clog from ever happening. To achieve this, you should keep the lid closed and keep an eye on your kids, if you have any. Enterprising youngsters have been known to try to flush an amazing variety of objects. A handful of crayons, the hairbrush for little sister’s doll, and a lump of clay will form a clog that could seriously impact your morning plans. Most toilet clogs can be handled by the homeowner. But it will not hurt to have your local plumbing professional’s number programed in your phone, or written somewhere handy, just in case things get beyond your ability to manage.
