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.

A.Prevention is better than cure!

It's always best to try and avoid clogged drain situations in the first place. Never use sinks and toilets as waste baskets. Do not shove grease down the drain, or flush diapers or sanitary products down your toilet. These are some of the most common causes of clogged drains. Run hot water through your drains to remove any grease that may have began to clog. Take care not to place shells, bones, coffee grounds and other objects into your garbage disposal. Use strainers to cover all bath tubs and shower drains, and keep these clean.
If you do end up with a clogged drain, you can use your trusted plunger to clean your drain in an emergency. The inexpensive plunger is an extremely important plumbing tool to have in every home. The main aim with using a plunger is to create enough suction by pushing the cup against the drain, and pulling it up again. Remember to cover other drain outlets before you use a plunger.

In case your plunger doesn't work, try using a drain cleaning snake to hook the clog, and fish it out of the drain.
