“Every breakup story is awful I guess, but I have a winner,” Mallory said. “My ex wasn’t thrilled with having to move out of the apartment. Too bad, shouldn’t have messed around! But they couldn’t be an adult about the situation. I don’t know what they flushed down the toilet, but it overflowed all over the place. And all of the sinks are jammed up – they left the faucets going. I got the water stopped, and I’ve towels down all over the bathroom. But what do I do next?”
Clogged Toilets – Emergency Service in NYC
Motivation aside, all clogged toilets and bathroom drains require the same response. Your local NYC plumber is the person to contact. Deliberately clogged drains can sometimes be dealt with by the homeowner – for example, if the sink drains are clogged with toilet paper – but that’s not the case in every situation.
Your local plumber can clear clogged toilets quickly and completely. This is true even if your ex flushed very difficult items down the drain. We were going to give a list of examples, but then thought why help any evil-minded folk out there? Just know that with the specialized equipment emergency plumbers in NYC have, clogged toilets and sinks can be resolved quickly.
We are sometimes asked if toilet clogs damage the toilet or sewer line. The answer to this question is very rarely. The equipment used to clean drains inside buildings is specially designed to preclude damaging the pipes. Most clogs are either organic or relatively soft materials that have become lodged in place. Even rigid items (such as silverware down a kitchen sink drain) can be cleared away without hurting your plumbing.
Another question we’re often asked about drain cleaning is if it is possible to retrieve items that have been lost down a drain. This is not often possible, and we hate to get anyone’s hopes up. Even if an item can be found, it will not often be in a condition where you would want it.
