1.00Problem with toilet bowl water level after sewer cleaned out.?
Q.I had my sewer drain cleaned out of roots which they accessed by removing the toilet and going through that drain. Now the toilet gurgles and bubbles up when flushing, and the water level in the bowl varies, but is usually very low. It acts like it can't get air, but it was fine before the drain was cleaned. The drain cleaner service says they didn't do anything to my toilet, so it's not their problem. I played with the toilet tank float, but no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks.
A.You are either having venting issues or their is an obstruction in the toilet. Not necessarily a clog but an obstruction. If the vent is blocked or partially blocked, the flow of the water leaving the toilet will siphon the water out of your bowl. They may not have worked on the toilet but their work may have sent debris up the vent pipe. I hope they have since taken care of the problem.
1.00My drain clogged more after using Kiwi Kleen drain cleaner?
Q.What can I do now,the bathroom is floaded?
any suggestions?
thanks loads!
A.I agree with using the plunger on the drain to unloosen whatever is causing your big drain problem.
Then, to clear out the drain more, pour 1 cup of baking soda down your drain and chase it with 1 cup of hot distilled white vinegar. If you've ever made a science fair volcano, you'll know the vinegar and baking soda will react to bubble up in the drain and subsequently remove a lot of the built up junk. Wait a few minutes and flush out the drain with hot water. You may have to repeat the process a few times, especially if your drains haven't been cleaned in a while.
1.00Are there home remedies for a clogged shower drain? I'm spending a fortune in drain cleaners every month.?
Q.I plunge the drain about an hour after putting drain cleaner down it and that helps for about a month. I keep hair out of it as best I can, so I don't think that is really the true problem.
A.Prevention is better than cure!
one easy thing is to put a "Mesh" over the shower drain, clean it everytime u take a shower.
Check if ur hair is falling!
and make sure the drain system is not narrowed away from shower

Drain Issues
Drains are the backbone of your plumbing system, and any disturbance in your drains can quickly lead to problems in other parts of the system. Clogged drains are some of the most common drain cleaning problems. You can prevent frequent drain clogs using a few helpful hints. Run hot water regularly down the drain to remove grease, and other clogs that can quickly form. Make sure that bathtubs and shower stalls are fitted with well fitting strainers that can catch soap residue hair and other objects that can quickly become drain clogs. Clean these strainer covers regularly. Never flush diapers, tissue, or paper down the toilet because they can quickly lead to a clogged drain.
If you still end up with a clogged drain problem, use your trusty plumber to clean your drain. Every home should have a plunger, one for toilets and another for sinks. With any plunger, remember that results will depend on how much suction you can manage to produce with the plunger. Also, bear in mind, that plungers rarely work with just a few pumps, and you'll have to plunge at least 15 to 20 times with rapid movements to be able to dislodge the clog. When a plunger doesn't seem to help dislodge the clog, use a plumber's snake to clear the drain. A plumber's snake is a flexible apparatus with a handle at one end, and a hook at the other. By turning the handle, you can hook the clog and then remove it from the drain.
It doesn't take much to keep your drains clean, and when you do end up with a clogged drain, a little help from your plunger should be enough to clean the drain. If all these doesn't help however, hire a professional drain cleaning company to remove the clog. We can help you find professional drain cleaning contractors in Toledo.
