When your toilet begins to backup, there are usually some warnings. Usually, you can hear the toilet gurgling and making other noises after you have flushed it. You may also have clogs in the toilet more often, where they become more and more difficult to remove. You may also have noticed some issues with drainage in your sinks and tubs. If you are beginning to notice these things, you could have an issue with your toilet backing up as well. If you didn't take notice of these issues, and you suddenly have a problem with your toilet backing up, you need to take action right away. Read on for what you should do if you have a toilet backup.
Try To Remove The Clog
You need to try to remove the clog from your toilet if you can. Use a plunger and try your best to remove the clog with the plunger. If you have a snake, you can try to snake your toilet to remove the clog. A liquid clog remover may also help you in this situation. Pour the liquid into the drain to try and remove the clog. If you can't remove the clog, your toilet will continue to backup with sewage into your home. If this continues to happen, you're going to end up with a huge mess, which can be harmful to your health.
Keep The Sewage Contained
Try to keep the sewage pouring into your home contained by using a mop or rags to keep the area clean. Use gloves and other protection so you aren't touching the sewage and you don't end up getting ill from the bacteria in the raw sewage. You don't want this sewage getting into other areas of your home if at all possible, so try your best to contain it.
