Is Your Toilet Backing Up?
A clogged toilet is more than an inconvenience, it can cause a major mess in your home or business and threaten the health of your family, employees, or customers. The expert plumbers at Around The Clock Drain Master, LLC provide toilet repair service in Sioux Falls, SD and the surrounding area. Toilets are simple, yet complex bathroom fixtures made up of a variety of parts that depend on each other to function properly. When one or more of these parts become worn or fail completely, they need to be replaced.

Immediate Steps for an Overflowing Toilet
When wastewater threatens to spill over the bowl, taking immediate action minimizes the damage to your bathroom.
- Shut off the water: Locate the valve behind the base of the toilet and turn it clockwise until it stops.
- Stop the flapper: If the external valve is stuck, take off the tank lid and press the rubber flapper down tightly over the drain hole.
- Block the spread: Lay down heavy towels to protect your flooring from unsanitary water.
- Call for backup: Call Around the Clock Drain Master to clear the blockage safely before attempting to flush again.
How to Know If You Have a Main Sewer Clog or Local Toilet Clog
It helps to know if you’re dealing with an isolated fixture issue or a widespread system failure.
| Clog Type | Identifying Symptoms | Diagnosis & Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Local Toilet Clog | Only one toilet is backing up; other bathroom sinks and shower drains function normally. | The blockage is trapped in the toilet trap or immediate branch line. |
| Main Sewer Clog | Flushing the toilet causes water to back up into your shower drains or lowest fixtures. | The main sewer line is restricted. We highly recommend a sewer video inspection to pinpoint the exact depth and cause of a main line blockage. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my toilet keep running?
A running toilet usually stems from a worn-out flapper, a damaged fill valve, or an improperly sized chain preventing a tight seal. Replacing these internal tank parts typically resolves the issue and stops the water waste.
How can I tell if my toilet needs to be replaced instead of repaired?
If your toilet requires frequent repairs, has visible hairline cracks in the porcelain bowl, or suffers from severe mineral buildup that limits flushing power, a full replacement is often more cost-effective than continuous maintenance.
Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners on a clogged toilet?
We heavily advise against pouring harsh chemical drain cleaners into your toilet. The chemicals create extreme heat that can crack the porcelain bowl and severely damage older plumbing pipes.
What causes a toilet to overflow randomly?
A toilet overflows when a dense blockage in the internal trap or the main drain line prevents wastewater from escaping. When the tank releases a fresh flush of water with nowhere to go, it forces the existing water up and over the rim.
