1. What causes a backed-up toilet?

A backed-up toilet can be caused by clogged drainpipes, tree root intrusion, aging sewer lines, and grease build-up.

2. How can I prevent toilet backups?

Regular drainpipe maintenance, avoiding flushing non-flushable items, and scheduling professional inspections can help prevent backups.

If the toilet continues to back up despite using a plunger, or if there are persistent clogs, odors, or slow drainage, it’s time to call a plumber.

Ignoring a toilet backup can lead to health hazards, mold growth, structural damage, and increased repair costs.

Camera inspections help detect blockages, pipe damages, and assess tree root intrusion early on.
