Newer house, toilet won't flush?

Why it happens in Platteville

In Platteville the median home was built in 1992 (Census estimates), with about 32% built in 2000 or later. Newer PVC drains don't scale up like old iron, so a clog in a newer house is almost always something that went down: wipes, paper towels, grease, or too much paper in a low-flow toilet.

What to try, and when to call us

Try a flange plunger a few times. If water rises toward the rim or the tub gurgles, the clog is further down. Stop flushing and call.

What causes it in Platteville

About 14% of Platteville homes are mobile homes. Their small traps and shallow drain runs clog faster than a house drain, and a line that holds water can freeze on a cold night.

What you can do right now

Keep the skirting closed in winter, and don't let a slow drain sit. A plumber can clear it and check that the line under the floor is supported.

What to Do While You Wait in Platteville

Skip the chemical drain cleaner. It can splash back and it can't clear a main line.

  • Stop running water if more than one drain is backing up.
  • Don't pour chemical cleaner into standing water. It can splash back when the plumber opens the line.
  • If you know where the cleanout is, clear the area around it.
  • Keep children and pets away from dirty water.

Platteville Clog Questions

Anything else? Call us. A real person picks up 24/7.

Who runs Platteville's sewer?

The Town of Platteville Public Works Department, 970-785-2245.

What clogs newer Platteville homes?

Mostly wipes, grease and too much paper. PVC drains rarely fail on their own.

When are Platteville utility bills due?

On the fourth Tuesday of each month, according to the town. The bill shows water use and sewer fees.

Is it safe to keep using the other bathroom?

Only if it drains normally and nothing gurgles elsewhere. If two fixtures act up together, the clog is in the shared line and more water will push it back out.
