Slow flushes

Check whether a blockage or a flush-system problem limits flow.

Recurring clogs

Look for the cause when plunging only helps temporarily.

Shared-line backups

Trace problems that affect the toilet and nearby drains.

Access and seals

Explain any need to lift the toilet and reset its seal.

True Plumbing was a pleasure to work with. We were having a sump pump issue in our AirBnB rental. They were able to make it out in under and hour, throughly diagnosed, troubleshot, and wrapped up before our renters arrived. Danny did excellent, efficient work and I will happily do business with them again.

He was amazing! He did a fantastic job and was very kind and friendly as well as professional and fast. It was a tricky job, too - he had to go under the house for it.

I had a wonderful experience with Danny S from True Plumbing. Right from the start, he impressed us with his expertise, quickly diagnosing the source of our leak. He presented us with several effective options to ensure it wouldn’t recur, all while being mindful of our budget. Danny exemplifies true professionalism; he focuses on fostering long-term relationships with his clients instead of resorting to unnecessary upselling. It’s refreshing to work with someone who genuinely cares about customer satisfaction.

Danny S from True Plumbing was an absolute pleasure to work with. The second he stepped into our bathroom, he provided the knowledge and insights to why this leaked occurred, gave us options that would ensure it wouldn’t happen again and made sure it wouldn’t break the bank. The epitome of a true professional that looks for lifetime customers that enjoy working with him rather than trying to upsell or get one over on a homeowner to upcharge unnecessarily. Anytime we need anything plumbing related we will go to True Plumbing & ask specifically for Danny S.

I had a great experience with this plumber! He was quick to respond and more importantly, very thorough. Since I had just moved in and there was clearly evidence of prior water damage from the previous renters, I was concerned because one of my sinks I caught was leaking. But under EVERY sink the cabinets have been warped (and yes I have initial move in photos)! He took the time to check all of the appliances as all the lines were loose that he found! He made sure the water lines and connections were tight and secure. I really appreciated his attention to detail and the peace of mind it gave me knowing everything had been tightened and checked. He was professional, efficient, and clearly cared about preventing a problem before it happened. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and thorough plumber!

Process

Clear the toilet

Check the fixture and the drains around it.

  1. Check the symptoms

    We ask about repeat clogs, bowl level, flushing, and nearby drain backups.

  2. Reach the blockage

    The obstruction and access determine the clearing method and whether the toilet needs lifting.

  3. Test the flush

    We confirm drainage, inspect any disturbed connections, and explain the cause when identified.

Diagnosis

Toilet or main line?

One clogged bowl and a household backup need different work.

Fixture blockage

A local obstruction can stop one toilet while other fixtures drain normally.

Flush performance

A weak flush or repeat clog may involve the toilet itself, not just material in the drain.

Wider backup

A tub or other low fixture backing up at the same time can point downstream.

FAQs

Clogged toilet questions

Should I keep flushing a clogged toilet?
No. Repeated flushing can overflow the bowl. Stop using the affected toilet and call if the blockage will not clear or other fixtures are backing up.
Does a clogged toilet mean I need a new one?
Not necessarily. An obstruction may be removable. Recurring clogs can also reflect a drain-line problem or the toilet's performance, so the cause should guide the recommendation.
Why does the bathtub back up when I flush?
The toilet and tub may share a restricted drain downstream. Several fixtures reacting together need the shared line checked, not just the toilet bowl.
Can you fix a toilet that also runs or leaks?
Yes. True Plumbing also handles fill valves, flappers, seals, flanges, and toilet replacement. Tell the team about running water or leaks as well as the clog.
Will you need to remove the toilet?
It depends on the obstruction and available access. If the toilet needs lifting, we explain the work and include resetting the fixture and checking its seal.
Toilet blocked?

Get the toilet cleared.

Tell us whether it is one toilet or a backup affecting other drains too.
