Dealing with Persistent Toilet Clogs in Older Toronto Homes
The main bathroom toilet in our semi-detached home seems to clog every few days, even when using minimal toilet paper. Plunging clears it temporarily, but the trapway seems to catch everything, and water rises right up to the rim every time we flush. Do we need to snake the main drain stack, or is the toilet itself failing?

Recurring toilet clogs can stem from two very different issues: either heavy calcification and hard water deposits inside the porcelain trapway itself, or a partial tree root restriction further down in your lateral drain line. A plumber can perform a quick diagnostic check or drain camera inspection to see if the main line is clear.
