Toilet Slow And Gurgling? Find Out If It's A Ventilation Problem Or Septic Issue

There are a lot of different problems that occur over the years when the toilets aren't inspected or replaced, and when you aren't doing any maintenance on the pipes that are associated with your septic system. If your toilets aren't draining as fast as they could be, or you can hear strange noises coming out of the toilets even when they aren't in use, it's time to have a plumber check out your system. These are potential areas that may need to be repaired or treated to restore the function of your plumbing system.

Ventilation Maintenance

The pipes that are sticking out of your roof are in place to help the water flow through your plumbing and septic system — these are plumbing ventilation pipes. If these pipes are clogged, the toilets could be draining slowly because there isn't enough air pulled down by gravity to move the water.

Have the ventilation units inspected thoroughly and upgraded or replaced, if needed. This ventilation flaw could also be causing the gurgling noises.

Outdated Toilet Problems

If the toilet is outdated and the internal components are starting to deteriorate, this could be the source of the problems. Replace all of the toilets in the home, so that they aren't just new and functional, but efficient as well. This upgrade also helps the space look more modern, and you can't find a model more comfortable for your needs.

Septic Pipe Clogs

There are some septic pipe clogs that you have to worry about if the water isn't moving. The plumbers can use a scope to go down into the pipes that leave the home to see if there is something blocking the water. This blockage will have to be treated, or if the pipe is damaged, it has to be repaired immediately to make sure that there isn't sewer leaking out into the property.

There are a lot of different problems that can make your toilets run slowly, and that can cause the toilets to be clogged or problematic. If you have noticed there is a super problem with your toilet, and you aren't sure what the best options are to help speed up the flow and to stop the noises, call professional plumbers, like those at B & B Drain Tech Inc.
