No one wants nuisances such as a clogged toilet in this busy season. Thus, we’re sharing you quick fixes (DIY solutions) and professional help (Malabanan septic tank services) to solve and prevent inopportune moments in your toilets. Here are the following:

DIY Solutions


Some clogged toilets don’t necessarily require the services of a plumber, but you have to troubleshoot them immediately to prevent the problems from getting worse. The clogs may be solved by simple pumping and flushing. Use these to solve your clogged or overflowing toilet. 


1. Use a plunger.


A plunger uses suction to push air down the toilet and clear a blockage through the system. It is crucial to have a large and heavy-duty rubber plunger (usually a ball-shaped type or one with a fold-out rubber flange on the bottom) so that you can apply more force and dislodge the clog easily. Do this by adding water into the toilet bowl and pressing the plunger down to release the air in the dome. Then, pump the plunger aggressively several times. The pressure would then effectively disturb the clog and will gradually dislodge it.



2. Mix hot water, baking soda and vinegar.


Repetitive flushing would cause more damage to your clogged toilet. It won’t clear the blockage and may result in overflowing, too. Better yet, apply a solution designed to break the clog. Water is the universal solvent. It can dissolve many solids (such as tissue and litter) trapped inside your toilet bowl. For best results, mix it with baking soda and vinegar to produce a fizzing action that will work its way through your toilet for easier flushing.


Professional Help


If you can’t solve your toilet problems thru DIY solutions, there’s a huge chance that your septic tank is already full. In most cases, it is also due to flushing non-flushable items, like tampons, condom, shampoo, and paper towels, causing blocking and building pressure to your toilet and pipes, then compromising the integrity of your septic system. Here are some Malabanan septic tank services you must avail: 


1. Clearing of Clogged Pipelines


Other clogged toilets need to be plugged out to eliminate the blockage in its pipelines that lead to your septic tank. This process requires a lot of work including clearing of clogs, repairing and repiping. When the damage is worse, new toilets and pipes can be installed.



2. Septic Tank Siphoning


A septic tank can no longer accept huge amounts of wastewater coming from your toilet when it’s already full. It will result in clogs and overflowing. Malabanan septic tank services such as siphoning (thorough cleansing and water waste draining) and management of septic sludge (grease trap cleaning) are highly advisable to empty a septic tank and make it work at its best.

Toilets and septic tanks are very important in waste management. Therefore, you need to care for it properly and watch for signs of problems. Immediately solve any clogs with these DIY solutions or call Malabanan for its septic tank services to prevent further damage on your fixture units.
