Frequently Asked Questions About Scarborough Toilet Backup Service

  • Frantically searching “toilet backing up into shower” or “water backing up in toilet bowl” to find a potential clue as to why it happened? You’re not alone. Most Scarborough homeowners who encounter toilet backup don’t know why it happened, but they do know that it doesn’t just affect their toilet. Because drain pipes are interconnected, when tougher clogs happen, it can cause sewer backup to run out of their taps, shower, washing machine, and more. Knowing why your toilet is backing up is key to preventing it in the future, so be sure to take a look at these common reasons to avoid your next backup crisis:

    • Clogs: Too much toilet tissue, paper towels, baby wipes, feminine hygiene products, or even hair can cause your toilet drains to back up. While hair is a less common thing to put down the toilet rather than a shower drain hole, sanitary products are one of the largest causes of simple clogs.
    • Tree roots: No, a tree root hasn’t made its way down your porcelain throne, but your main sewer line is buried underneath your yard. The lovely trees that grow there, likely have broken through your pipe in search of water. Roots are persistent and strong and are often the cause of persistent clogs and sewer line damage. When the root grows, so does the blockage, eventually stopping the household wastewater from passing by completely. Et voilà! You have yourself a backup.
    • Drain Pipe Scale: Scarborough’s water supply is hard and contains a high concentration of minerals such as calcium and magnesium. Over time, this scale builds up, creating a blockage.
    • Grease: Debris from dirty dishes, such as grease and food, can clog even the biggest drain with time. Resolving it is going to take a little more effort than using a sink plunger, though.

    If you suspect any of these issues in your plumbing system, you might notice that the water pressure in your home is low. Skip the cup of vinegar, baking soda, and hot water and give our experts a call instead. Your clogged toilets need more than a toilet snake. When facing a drain line clog, advanced methods for sewer line cleanout may be required.
