Toilet Stoppages

A stopped up or overflowing toilet is certainly inconvenient. Worse, an overflowing toilet can cause property damage or create an unsanitary environment. Sometimes toilets when flushed will drain slowly. In either situation it’s important to determine the cause of the problem.

Because all drains tie into the sewer, if backed up, other drains will cease to flow. Usually the shower or tub is the first to show symptoms. If the clog exists within the toilet itself, a plunger will usually remedy the problem. However it may not work for a more stubborn clog.

MTP discourages use of detergents, acid or root deterrents in plumbing systems. Many of these additives contain hazardous chemicals that could ultimately end up in our fresh water sources. Furthermore, many of these chemicals are caustic to pipe and may hasten its deterioration.
