About John The Plumber & Drain

Honest Work. Real Plumbers. No Nonsense.

A clogged toilet is one of the most urgent plumbing problems a home can have. When a toilet won’t flush, drains slowly, or starts to overflow, it can create a mess fast — and it may be a sign of a deeper drain issue.

We provide fast, professional clogged toilet service throughout St. Petersburg and Pinellas County.

Whether it’s a simple blockage or a recurring backup, we’ll diagnose the cause and clear it safely without damaging your toilet or pipes.

Toilet Clog Problems We Fix

Toilet clogs aren’t all the same. We handle everything from simple blockages to repeat backups and main line issues.

Toilet Won’t Flush

Water rises or stalls, then drops slowly.

Overflowing Toilets

Immediate clearing to prevent water damage.

Toilet Keeps Clogging

Recurring issues that point to deeper blockage or flow problems.

Weak Flush Issues

Partial blockages or internal problems reducing flushing power.

Gurgling or Bubbling

Air trapped in the line, often related to drain restrictions.

Slow Drain After Flush

Water drains slowly instead of clearing cleanly.

Foreign Objects

Toys, hygiene items, and accidental drops in the bowl.

Multiple Fixtures Backing Up

Often indicates a main drain or sewer line issue.

Toilet Backup Odors

Bad smells caused by buildup and restricted flow.

When DIY Is Safe — And When to Call a Pro

Try a Plunger First
A standard plunger is safe for most basic clogs.
Stop If Water Keeps Rising
Overflow risk means it’s time for professional help.
Avoid Chemical Drain Cleaners
They can damage pipes and toilets, and don’t solve deep clogs.
Recurring Clogs Need Diagnosis
If it keeps happening, there’s usually a deeper cause.
Main Line Symptoms = Urgent
Multiple fixtures backing up points to a bigger issue.
