What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Toilet Drain Clog Removal?
Toilet drain clog removal is targeted clearing of the toilet’s drain path, typically involving:
Using a toilet auger (a specialized, bowl-safe tool) to reach through the toilet trap
Breaking up or retrieving paper, wipes, toys, feminine products, or other objects stuck in the toilet or the immediate drain line
Checking for proper flush and drainage after the clog is cleared
Evaluating whether the issue is limited to that toilet or tied to a larger drain or main line problem
The goal is to get your toilet flushing normally again, without risking overflow, damage, or hidden issues.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Proper toilet augers, not coat hangers: We use professional-grade augers designed for toilets, which help avoid scratching or cracking the bowl.
We protect your bathroom: Careful work around flooring, baseboards, and finishes, plus cleanup of our work area.
Deeper diagnostic mindset: If we suspect a branch or main line issue, we’ll let you know and can investigate further.
Family- and tenant-friendly: Fast, respectful service for homes, rentals, condos, and small commercial restrooms.
Honest guidance: We’ll tell you when it’s just a simple clog vs. signs of root intrusion, broken pipe, or main sewer problems.
Licensed & insured: Nevada License #0047021, serving the Las Vegas valley since 1991.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
If the toilet bowl is full or close to the rim, do not flush again—it can overflow.
Turn off the toilet shutoff valve (usually at the wall behind the toilet) if water keeps running.
Avoid chemical drain cleaners—they’re unsafe for toilets and can damage the porcelain and seals.
Don’t keep plunging if water is backing up into other drains (tubs, showers, or sinks); that may be a deeper line or main sewer issue.
Keep kids and pets away from any overflowed water.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and tell us you need toilet drain clog removal, and whether you have one toilet or multiple fixtures backing up.
Common Toilet Clog Problems We Handle
Toilet bowl fills up and drains very slowly, if at all
Toilet overflows or almost overflows when flushed
Need to plunge every few days for the same toilet
Gurgling noises in the toilet when other fixtures drain
Kids’ bathrooms where small items/toys may have gone down the bowl
“Flushable” wipes, feminine products, or paper towels causing blockages
If other fixtures are working fine and only one toilet is clogged, the problem is usually in or near that toilet. If multiple toilets and drains are affected, we may be dealing with a bigger sewer issue.
Call & Symptom Review
You call (702) 438-3357 and describe what’s happening—single toilet vs multiple, slow draining vs overflowing, and how long it’s been going on. We schedule a visit, and if it sounds urgent or there’s active overflow, we treat it as a priority.
On-Site Inspection & Quick Assessment
Your plumber inspects the toilet, surrounding fixtures, and any visible signs of backup. We check whether this appears to be a local toilet clog or part of a larger branch or main line issue.
Common Situations We Handle
Using a professional toilet auger, we carefully feed the cable through the toilet trap to break up or retrieve the blockage—whether it’s paper, wipes, a foreign object, or buildup. We work in a way that protects your bowl and glaze from damage.
Flush & Drainage Testing
After clearing the obstruction, we restore water level, test flush, and watch how the bowl empties and refills. We make sure the toilet flushes cleanly and quickly, and that there’s no unusual gurgling or backup.
Further Line Evaluation (If Needed)
If flushing shows signs of ongoing restriction or if other fixtures are slow, we may recommend and perform additional testing—such as snaking the nearby branch line or main sewer line—to make sure there’s not a deeper problem.
Findings, Prevention Tips & Next Steps
We explain what we believe caused the clog (paper overload, wipes, objects, deeper line issues), provide simple do/don’t flushing guidelines, and, if needed, outline options for further drain cleaning or sewer inspection.
What’s Included
A typical toilet drain clog removal visit may include:
Visual inspection of the toilet and nearby fixtures for signs of localized vs. system-wide backup
Safe use of a toilet auger to clear the immediate clog in the toilet and short run of drain
Multiple flush tests to confirm clear, strong drainage and bowl refill
Quick check for related issues (e.g., gurgling in nearby drains, signs of deeper clogs)
Basic cleanup of the immediate work area around the toilet
Explanation of the likely cause and simple prevention advice for future use
(If additional branch or main line cleaning is needed, that will be quoted separately.)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Many toilet clogs can be resolved in a single visit and often fairly quickly once we’re on site.
You’ll get upfront pricing before we begin, plus separate, clear estimates if we find you also need branch or main line drain cleaning.
Main cost factors: severity of the clog, whether we need to pull the toilet (rare but sometimes necessary), and whether the issue is limited to one toilet or part of a larger system blockage.
If deeper issues are found, we can price and schedule additional drain or sewer services as a separate scope.
Insurance & Claims Help
Most toilet clogs are everyday maintenance issues, but if a clog leads to overflow and damage, documentation matters:
We can provide invoices and notes showing that a licensed plumber addressed the toilet clog and any related drain issues.
If we find evidence of defective or broken piping causing repeated backups, we can document that for landlords, property managers, or owners.
(Coverage and claim decisions are always up to your insurer and policy; this is not financial or legal advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Overflow and water damage: One more flush on a badly clogged toilet can flood the bathroom and damage flooring and ceilings below.
Hidden contamination: Toilet overflows can contaminate floors, baseboards, and nearby materials with dirty water.
Porcelain damage: Coat hangers, makeshift tools, or improper augers can scratch or crack the toilet, leading to leaks or replacement.
Worsening blockages: Repeated flushing and plunging can push a clog deeper into the line, making it harder and more expensive to clear.
Missed main line issues: Treating every problem as “just a toilet clog” can hide serious sewer line problems until a bigger backup occurs.
Addressing toilet clogs properly and early is the best way to protect both your plumbing and your home.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Toilet-safe augers: We use tools designed specifically for toilets, protecting porcelain and internal passages.
Clean work practices: We use drop protection and sanitizing practices around the work area and clean up when finished.
System-aware approach: If symptoms suggest a bigger problem, we’ll say so and outline options—rather than just clearing the toilet and leaving you with a looming issue.
Code-conscious: If we see improper toilet installation, loose flange connections, or other code concerns, we’ll point them out and provide options.
Clear explanations: We explain what we did, what we found, and how to avoid future clogs in straightforward terms.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I stop plunging and call a plumber?
If the toilet almost overflows, if you’ve plunged multiple times with no improvement, or if other drains are backing up too, it’s time to call a pro.
Can “flushable” wipes clog toilets?
Yes. Many “flushable” wipes do not break down like toilet paper and can cause significant blockages—especially in older or low-slope piping.
Will you have to remove my toilet to clear the clog?
Often no. Most clogs can be cleared with a toilet auger. In more severe or foreign-object cases, we may recommend pulling the toilet to access the blockage directly.
What if more than one toilet or drain is clogged?
That may indicate a branch or main sewer line problem, not just a toilet issue. We’ll check and, if needed, recommend main line or branch drain cleaning.
Is it safe to use drain chemicals in my toilet?
We don’t recommend it. Many chemicals are harsh on seals and porcelain, and they often don’t fix physical obstructions like wipes or objects.
