Bathroom Plumbing Services in Kane County

Clogged toilets are some of the most common—and most frustrating—bathroom plumbing issues. There are many reasons a toilet can become clogged. 

Some of the most common causes include: 

• Non-flushable items falling into the toilet 
• Using excessive amounts of toilet paper 
• Flushing feminine hygiene products 
• Flushing other non-flushable items, such as hair or cotton balls
• Blockages in the main sewer line 

Luckily, there are several steps you can take to prevent toilet clogs and potentially dangerous sewage backups. Avoid flushing anything other than waste and small amounts of toilet paper. Keep the toilet lid closed when not in use to prevent non-flushable items—such as hairbrushes, children’s toys, toothbrushes, etc.—from falling in. If you use a toilet freshener, consider using one that goes into the toilet tank, rather than the toilet bowl, where it can accidentally become dislodged and be flushed. 

Unfortunately, toilet clogs are bound to happen from time to time. When they do, call the Kane County bathroom plumbing pros at J&R Herra Home Services for fast, reliable toilet unclogging and drain cleaning services. We respond quickly to all calls and are available for 24/7 emergency services. 

How to Prevent Backed-Up Sinks, Showers & Tubs 

Just like toilets, your other bathroom plumbing fixtures—sinks, showers, and tubs—can easily suffer from drain clogs. Slow drains and complete blockages lead to backed-up water filling your sink, shower, or tub, which can be annoying at best and dangerous at worst. 

To prevent backed-up sinks, showers, and tubs, take the following steps: 

• Avoid washing excess soap suds and scum down drains 
• Install a mesh drain cover to catch hair, soap scum, and other debris 
• Replace your shower or tub stopper with one that has a mesh or metal screen 
• Brush your hair before taking a shower or bath to remove loose hair 
• Avoid bathing pets, like dogs, in the shower or tub if possible 
• Do not wash anything other than soap down the drain 

Even the most careful homeowner is bound to experience a clogged bathroom sink, shower, or tub at some point. When the inevitable occurs, reach out to the team at J&R Herra Home Services for expert bathroom plumbing services, including fast and effective drain cleaning.
