Clogged Toilets & Slow Showers: Top Summer Plumbing Complaints

July 28, 2020 by Boris Mechanical

“2020 has already turned out to be quite a year, and now the toilet’s not going to flush?” Nick said. “That’s it. Put a fork in me, I’m done.”

Clogged toilets are among the most common NYC plumbing problems. There are a number of reasons toilets clog, but in Nick’s case, the culprit was easy to spot: his two-year old daughter, Chloe, flushed all sorts of things down the toilet, including several washcloths and hand towels.

“I didn’t really think anything about it at first,” Nick said. “But then my wife let me know this situation was going on and the impact of all of those missing washcloths suddenly became very clear to me.”

“What do you do for a clogged toilet in Manhattan?” Nick laughed. “We ordered some of that liquid drain cleaning stuff online. That did nothing, and my wife was getting very irritated with the whole no functioning toilet thing. So we searched for plumbing services near NYC and got some help.”

What Happened to the Water Pressure?

Everyone being home all day led to a lot more showers being taken. You know what that leads to – complaints about no hot water and low water pressure.

Hot water concerns can generally be traced to the water heater. If it’s an issue of increased usage and an undersized tank, it’s a simple fix to have your NYC plumber do the water heater replacement. The water heater may need repairs to the control or thermostat. Whatever the issue is, the best plumbing services near NYC can take care of it.

Low water pressure is a separate issue. Your NYC plumber will check the pressure at the city hook up. If that’s okay, the issue is somewhere inside your home’s plumbing. The two common causes for low water pressure are leaking pipes and mineral deposits/debris within the water supply lines. Once the cause has been determined, your plumber can fix it for you!
