How can I avoid clogs?

Prevent clogs in your toilet by avoiding flushing items that do not break down and dissolve in water. Many items often find their way into toilets and are flushed, however many of these items should never be flushed. Items such as paper towels, facial tissue, food, wipes, hair, diapers, grease, and coffee grounds all can cause buildup inside the pipes and clogging. Also be sure to always use septic-safe toilet paper and clean your toilet bowl regularly.

If a clog occurs, you have options. The first thing to do is to take the lid off the tank and look inside. There should be a chain attached to a rubber or plastic flapper. Gently pull up on the chain to release it and allow water to flow into the bowl. If this doesn’t work, you can try using a plunger. Make sure the seal of the plunger is tight around the drain before attempting to unclog it.
