It's a good thing to find pros like this.
I used Ninja Plumber once in 2017 and again today in 2019. First time was to work on my sink and this time was to replace my water pressure regulator. Both experiences were excellent.

Really appreciate Matt’s quick response and professionalism
I recently had another issue with my sub pump and Matt came to my home to inspect it, which meant digging it up, opening and cleaning out the items that were causing blockage and preventing it from running smoothly.

Why Toilets Clog
Avoid toilet clogs by understanding why they happen. Start taking preventative measures now so you can save yourself from the inconvenience moving forward.
Here’s why toilets clogs:
- You have a low-flow toilet – these older fixtures usually lack the pressure necessary to move waste through the trap and drain
- You're flushing items you shouldn't – from Q-tips to cotton balls to tampons, if it’s not human waste or toilet paper, it’s going to cause problems
- You're using excessive amounts of TP – using too much TP or 2-ply delays the dissolving process, causing it to stick in the toilet or drain lines
- Your toilet trap is clogged – just like a sink's P-trap, your toilet has an S-trap connecting the toilet bowl and drain line, where non-flushable items get stuck
- Your toilet vent is blocked – a blockage in your toilet vent, which is located in your roof, prevents fresh air from entering your plumbing and providing pressure
How to Prevent Toilet Clogs
Clogged toilets are one of the most common plumbing problems we see here at Ninja Plumber. While some clogs are bound to happen, most can be avoided. If you’re tired of dealing with unexpected clogged toilet emergencies, there are a few things you can do to reduce the number of clogs you have to deal with.
Some simple ways to prevent toilet clogs include:
- Use Less Toilet Paper: Excessive toilet paper use is one of the most common causes of clogged toilets. Using less toilet paper or less-thick toilet paper is one of the easiest and most practical ways to reduce clogs.
- Never Flush Anything That Shouldn’t Be Flushed: This includes feminine hygiene products, paper towels, diapers, wipes, and other items. It also goes without saying that you shouldn’t flush foreign objects, like hair pins, toothbrushes, toys, or trash.
- Keep the Lid Closed: Keep the toilet lid closed when it’s not in use to reduce the likelihood of foreign objects falling into the bowl. If you have children, make sure the toilet lid is baby-proofed and always keep it closed so your kids don’t flush anything they shouldn’t.
While some clogs can be effectively handled with a plunger and some elbow grease, bigger clogs should be left to the pros. Never use store-bought drain cleaners, as these often contain caustic chemicals that can be damaging to your pipes and sewer lines.
