Let SERVPRO handle the cleanup if you have a toilet overflow from a clogged toilet.

Clogged toilets are a common occurrence that every homeowner has dealt with at some point. When it happens, it can be stressful due to the mess and damage it can cause, especially when the toilet overflows. SERVPRO of Avondale/Goodyear/Southwest Phoenix put together a list of how to prevent a clogged toilet.

• When using toilet paper, only use what you need to prevent toilet paper from causing a clog as toilet paper does not dissolve right away.
• Make sure toilet paper is the only thing being flushed. Avoid flushing paper towels, facial tissues, and wipes and dispose of them in the trash instead.
• Always keep the toilet lid down to prevent children or pets from dropping items in the toilet that can become stuck.

We hope that by following these simple steps, you can prevent a clogged toilet or toilet overflow from occurring in your home. If you do find yourself dealing with a clogged toilet that has caused an overflow to occur, contact SERVPRO of Avondale/Goodyear/Southwest Phoenix to handle the cleanup.
