Toilet running after a clog in the middle of winter?
Why it happens in Lafayette
A Lafayette city newsletter says December through February is the time to conserve water to keep your sewer rate as low as possible for the coming year. The city's utility FAQ lists a basic sewer rate of $47.76 a month. Plunging can knock a flapper loose, and a partial clog can have you flushing twice. In winter, that extra water follows you onto a year of sewer bills.
What to try, and when to call us
After you clear a clog, lift the tank lid and make sure the flapper seals. If the toilet still needs two flushes, have the line cleared before the winter months are over.

Mobile home sink plugged again?
What causes it in Lafayette
Census estimates put the median Lafayette home at 2000, with about 52% built since then, and about 17% of homes are mobile homes. Newer PVC lines in a site-built house rarely fail on their own. In a mobile home, the drain under the floor is short, hangs from straps, and has small traps that fill with grease and food.
What you can do right now
If the kitchen sink keeps plugging, check under the home for a sagging pipe. A plumber can clear it and re-hang the line so it drains downhill.
