How pricing works

“Wayne was professional, helpful, tidy, punctual, and considerate. He worked systematically through our toilet issue and communicated clearly throughout.” - North Vancouver homeowner

If the toilet is actively overflowing or water is spreading beyond the bathroom, see our Emergency Plumber North Vancouver page. If the blockage keeps coming back or affects other fixtures, the problem may be further down the line.

Common signs of a toilet blockage

Water rises after flushing

The bowl fills higher than normal and drains away slowly or not at all.

Gurgling or bubbling sounds

Unusual noises from the toilet can point to a partial blockage or trouble further down the line.

Repeated plunging

If plunging only works for a short time, the blockage may not be fully cleared.

It looks close to overflowing

If the water keeps rising toward the rim, stop flushing and get it checked before it spills over.

What causes a clogged toilet?

Most clogged toilets are caused by too much toilet paper, hygiene products, or something that should not have been flushed. In many cases, the blockage is local to the toilet and can be cleared safely.

If the toilet keeps blocking, drains slowly even after clearing, or other fixtures are affected, the problem may be further down the line rather than just the toilet. In those cases, see sewer backup repair .

How we deal with a clogged toilet

1. Monkey Hear

We start by listening to what has been happening - whether the toilet is slow, blocked completely, close to overflowing, or affecting anything else nearby.

2. Monkey See

We carry out a visual, non-invasive first check to see whether this looks like a toilet-only blockage or part of a bigger drainage problem.

3. Monkey Dig

If the cause is not clear from the first check, we explain what further testing or access may be needed before the right clearing approach can be confirmed.

4. Monkey Speak

Once we know what we are dealing with, we explain the likely cause, the right next step, and the price before any clearing work begins.

5. Monkey Do

With your approval, we clear the blockage, test the toilet properly, and leave the area clean and tidy before we go.
