How to Get a Strong Toilet Flush in Lynnwood

Do you find yourself flushing the toilet twice because the flush is weak and fails to send everything down? Not only is this a nuisance but it’s also a water waster. Here’s why it has become weak and how you can get a strong toilet flush in Lynnwood.

Check for a Backup

The weak flush may be due to a clog that partially blocks the waste pipe. Water struggles to flow through and consumes pressure that otherwise contributes to flushing power.

To check for a backup, fill the toilet bowl with water and flush. If the flushing power remains the same, then you have a partial backup. Try to remove the backup with a plunger. If that doesn’t help, you may need to contact plumbing services.

Clean the Rim

The rim holes where the flushing water flows through may be blocked from mineral deposit buildup. For a quick way to create a strong flush, open the toilet lid and pour one to two cups of toilet bowl cleaner into the flush valve opening. The flush valve, located in the middle of the toilet tank, includes the overflow tube, the hole where water enters the bowl when the toilet is flushed and the rubber tank ball or flapper that covers the hole when the tank is full. Don’t use the toilet for the next several hours. The cleaner will flow through the channels and dissolve the hardened deposits.

Low Water Bowl Level

You won’t get full flushing power if the water in the bowl is abnormally low. Low levels may indicate a leaky fill valve. If the valve leaks water, it takes pressure away from the tube that refills the bowl.

Flush the toilet with the toilet tank lid open. Is water squirting from the valve? If so, then this part needs to be replaced.

I can’t speak highly enough of Darrell and his associates! Not only did they come out to service my furnace last minute they also gave me tons of great home maintenance tips! Hire them, you will not regret it.

I truly enjoyed working with this company, especially Darrell. He is not only a nice person but also skillful, professional, and knowledgeable. He wants to do things right, no negotiation. He will take whatever time it takes to achieve this. I also witnessed his patience and contribution in developing his plumber apprentice who came with him. He is certainly a rare person to find in this profession. Thank you, Darrell.

These guys are FANTASTIC! We had them replace a water pressure valve in our crawlspace but we also had them look at a few other concerns around our house that we recently purchased. Not only did Darrell take the time to inspect the areas of concern but he also spent time sharing advice and several tips for maintaining a home. As new homeowners, we were beyond grateful that he took the time to share some of his expertise and give us a peace of mind! Don't hesitate to have this company help with any plumbing or heating needs you may have!

Came out and fixed our gas leak within an hour. We have a home built in the 90's and they were still knowledgeable on what the problem was. Appreciated their service very much! Highly recommend!

It's hard to find honest business owners nowadays. Called them to check on my furnace because the heater wasn't turning on, Thomas diagnosed my furnace and didn't find any issue and that the heater was working fine that day. He could have lied about it but he did not and told me that he won't be charging me for this. I'll be referring them to friends and family for sure and I will be using them again.

I appreciate everything this company has done for me because I called them with my problem and they fixed and did a wonderful job, I called again for a different issue and with the quickness they were back out and again did a great job!

The pressure relief valve on my hot water heater started leaking. Reached out to these guys, they were able to come next day. Very professional, did great work and had very fair prices. Happy customer!

Thomas and Darrell came out on time. They were very knowledgeable and their quote seemed fair. They even took the time to sweep, vacuum, and wipe the area, making it look better than it did before! Unlike previous experiences I’ve had, I did not feel pressured to have the work performed which was refreshing. Definitely will be referring them to friends and family.
