How do I unclog a toilet?
For shallow clogs, use a toilet plunger with a flange. If plunging doesn’t resolve the clog, call a plumber for professional troubleshooting and unclogging services.

Can I use a liquid drain cleaner to get rid of tough clogs?
We never recommend using store-bought drain cleaners because they contain corrosive chemicals that can damage your pipes over time. Drain snaking and hydrojetting services are better, plumbing-safe options.

Why is my water pressure low?
A few things can cause low water pressure. If everyone in your neighborhood has low water pressure, it could be the result of a problem with the municipal service. If it’s only affecting your house, then you might have a leaky pipe or a broken fixture. Contacting a plumber is the fastest and surest way to determine the cause of the issue.
