About this service
Toilet Clog Repair for Beaverton homes
A clogged toilet is a small problem right up until it overflows, and in a house with one bathroom it is an emergency no matter what time it is. Most toilet clogs come from too much paper, flushed wipes or something that fell in by accident. A plunger handles many of them. When it does not, or when the toilet keeps clogging, that is where our toilet clog repair service comes in.
We clear the clog with the right tool for a toilet, which is different from the tools used for sinks and tubs, and we do it without scratching the bowl. Then we check whether the problem was in the toilet itself or further down the drain line. A toilet that bubbles, backs up into the tub or clogs again a day later is often telling you something about the main line.

When to call
Call now if the toilet is overflowing, if it is your only toilet or if flushing causes water to rise in a tub or shower. Those situations cannot wait. A slow toilet in a house with a second bathroom can usually be scheduled for later the same day.
Flushed wipes, including the ones labeled flushable, are a common cause of the toilet clogs we clear in Beaverton. They do not break down like toilet paper and tend to catch in the trap or further down the line.
Talk to a local pro- Water rising in the bowlWater climbing toward the rim after a flush means the outlet is blocked.
- Weak or slow flushesA toilet that needs two flushes is often partly clogged.
- Gurgling after flushingGurgling or bubbling can mean a partial clog or a problem in the main line.
- Tub backing up when you flushWater rising in the tub points to a blockage further down the line.
- Repeat clogsA toilet that clogs every week has a cause that a plunger will not fix.
Questions
Toilet Clog Repair FAQs
How do I stop a toilet from overflowing?
Lift the tank lid and push the rubber flapper down to stop more water entering the bowl. Then turn the shutoff valve behind the toilet clockwise until it stops.
Are flushable wipes safe for toilets?
We recommend keeping all wipes out of the toilet. They do not break down like toilet paper and are a common cause of clogs in toilets and sewer lines.
Why does my toilet keep clogging?
Repeat clogs can come from an older low-flow toilet, a partial blockage in the trap, an object stuck inside or a problem in the drain line further down.
Will you need to remove my toilet?
Only if an object is stuck in the trap or the clog cannot be cleared from the bowl. If it comes up, we reseat it on a new wax ring.
