Plumbers vs. The Unflushable: A Battle for the Ages

As professional plumbers, we’ve faced our fair share of toilet terrors. From the toddler who thinks his toy truck is a submarine to the party guest who swears they didn’t clog the toilet with half a roll of paper, we’ve seen it all. One of our personal favorites is the time we found a goldfish swimming in the toilet bowl. (Rest assured, the fish was safely relocated to a proper tank.)


Then there’s the dreaded “phantom flush,” where the toilet seems to flush itself at random intervals. It’s like living in a haunted house, but instead of ghosts, you’ve got a mischievous toilet. The culprit? Usually a leaky flapper. A quick fix, but it keeps life interesting.


The Art of the Perfect Flush

There’s a certain poetry to a well-functioning toilet. The gentle swirl of water, the satisfying whoosh as it all disappears – it’s a beautiful symphony. But achieving that perfect flush is an art form. It requires the right balance of water pressure, a properly aligned flapper, and, of course, an unclogged path.


Let’s not forget the importance of good toilet etiquette. First rule: flush only toilet paper and, well, you know. Anything else belongs in the trash. We once had a call where someone tried to flush an entire rotisserie chicken. Spoiler alert: it didn’t end well.


Toilet Troubleshooting Tips


Step-by-step guide to fixing common toilet problems.


So, what do you do when your toilet decides to stage a revolt? Here are a few handy tips from the experts at Bertoli Plumbing and Heating:


  1. The Plunger Power: A trusty plunger is your first line of defense against clogs. Make sure you get a good seal and use firm, consistent pressure. It’s a bit of a workout, but hey, who needs the gym?

  2. Check the Chain: If your toilet won’t stop running, the chain inside the tank might be too long or too short. A quick adjustment can save you from that annoying constant water sound – and a higher water bill.

  3. Beware of Blockages: If multiple drains are backing up, you might have a main line issue. This is when you call in the big guns (aka Bertoli Plumbing).

  4. Know When to Call a Pro: Sometimes, no amount of DIY can fix the problem. That’s when you call Bertoli Plumbing and Heating, armed with tools, experience, and a healthy sense of humor.
