Toilet

Low-flow toilet clogging every week?

Why it happens in Adairsville

The typical Adairsville home dates to 2001, by Census estimates, and about 84% are detached. Newer PVC drains rarely fail by themselves, but builder-grade low-flow toilets don't push much water, and a wad of paper or a wipe stops them.

What to try, and when to call us

Use a flange plunger, not a flat one. If it clogs every week, ask the plumber to auger the toilet and check that nothing is stuck in the trapway, like a toy or a toothbrush.

Storms

Outdoor cleanout overflowing in a downpour?

What causes it in Adairsville

The Adairsville 5 SE station averages about 52 inches of precipitation a year, with about 15 days of an inch or more. Big storms raise groundwater and fill the sewer. If a floor drain or the outdoor cleanout overflows during a storm, the lateral may be partly blocked.

What you can do right now

Cut water use until the rain stops, then have a plumber cable the line from that cleanout.

Why Adairsville homes see this

Main Street, handles water and sewer, with an after-hours number for water, sewer and street emergencies. WBHF reported a minor wastewater spill during city sewer repairs.

When to stop and call

Report sewage in the street to Public Works. A backup only in your house is your line, and a plumber clears it.

What to Do While You Wait in Adairsville

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.
