Why Does My Toilet Keep Clogging?
Direct answer: A toilet that keeps clogging often has a deeper cause than one bad flush. Wipes, cotton products, and paper towels are common causes, even when a product is marked flushable. Low flow, a worn flapper, or a partial blockage further down the toilet line can also make a toilet clog often. If plunging helps for a day and then it clogs again, the blockage is likely deeper, and a closet auger or a camera check can find it. Tell us whether other fixtures are slow too, since that changes the job from one toilet to a main line.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it the toilet, or the line?
A closet auger and a flow test can tell. If the toilet itself is broken, we say so before suggesting a replacement.
Should I stop using that toilet?
If it overflows or fills too high, stop flushing it and call. Repeated flushing can overflow the bowl.
Still stuck?
Call and describe it in plain words. We will triage it on the phone and book a visit that fits.
