Can you leave a toilet clogged overnight?

• <div><p>Usually it’s fine to leave a toilet clogged overnight, as long as it’s not close to overflowing. In some cases, the extra time may give the clog time to work itself out. For example, if it’s caused by an excess of toilet paper, letting it sit could result in the clog dissolving and you may be able to simply flush it away by the time you wake up. </p><p>Only let it sit though if you have more than one toilet in the home.</p></div>

Will a clogged toilet eventually unclog itself?

• <div><p>Small clogs will eventually break down, but only if the clog is made up of toilet paper or waste and this can take time. If you don’t have another bathroom, it's best to fix a clogged toilet with what you have available. Solid objects flushed down the drain, however, require manual removal.</p></div>

What does replacing cast iron pipes include?

• <div><p>For easy-to-access pipes, your plumber will shut off the main water line and replace the pipes without demolishing your property. Underground or difficult-to-access pipes require different approaches. There are two ways to replace underground cast iron pipes: trench and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/no-dig-sewer-pipe-repairs-preserve-yards.htm">trenchless sewer line replacements</a>. Trenchless replacements result in minimal damage to your yard and involve bursting pipes and replacing them with new ones via an access point.</p></div>

Are bathtub drains universal?

• <div><p>The plumbing industry has standardized the sizes for bathtub drains. They are <b>1 1/2 inches wide</b> to fit all standard bathtubs from <b>14 to 26 inches deep</b>. The standard sizing is to ensure that the drain fits into the P trap, a special part of your piping that prevents sewer water from bubbling up into your home (yuck).</p></div>

Q: Can I use chemical drain cleaners to clear clogs in my pipes?

• <div><p>Chemical drain cleaners can work to clear clogs in pipes, but their use should be approached with caution. These harsh chemicals can damage pipes over time, and they can also harm the environment. Use them sparingly and consider alternative methods such as using a plunger or a drain snake. If you have concerns about a persistent clog, it's best to consult a professional who can safely and effectively address the issue without causing further damage to your plumbing system.</p></div>
