Every single day in Kingston, we get a couple of panicked calls about a completely clogged toilet or urinal, Super Drain Kingston plumber says. 90 % of them happen for the exact same reason — and almost all could have been prevented (or fixed for free) if people knew one simple truth: toilets don’t get clogged by toilet paper. They get destroyed by things people swear are “safe to flush.”
Top 7 Things Kingston Residents Flush
- “Flushable” wet wipes – the biggest toilet killer of 2025–2026. They don’t break down. Twenty metres down the lin,e they turn into indestructible rags that grab everything else.
- Paper towels and tissues swell up to 5–7 times their size when wet.
- Cotton pads, Q-tips, tampons, and pads. Guaranteed 100 % blockage.
- Cat litter (even the ones labelled “flushable”,) Bentonite clay sets like concrete inside the pipe.
- Food scraps and grease.
- Construction debris and drywall compound harden faster than cement.
- Kids’ toys, toothbrushes, hair clips, condoms. When you need a fast, professional and guaranteed toilet or Kingston drain clearing, call the trusted local team— they arrive in 30–60 minutes and fix it mess-free, every time.
How to Know Your Toilet Is Already 80 % Clogged (Before It Overflows)
- Takes two flushes to clear and still leaves streaks
- Water level rises higher than normal after flushing
- You hear gurgling in the nearby sink or shower
- Persistent sewer smell, no amount of bleach can kill
Proven Toilet & Urinal Unclogging Methods That Actually Work in Kingston (2025–2026)
- Professional Toilet Auger – (the snake that fits only toilets) 12 metre long and 2 metre long flexible cable with a protective outer cover that does not scratch porcelain. Removes wipes, toys, and tampons within 5-10 minutes.
- Hydro-Jetting (3,0005,000 PSI) – Small nozzle built to fit toilets and urinals. Extinguishes cat litter, grease, and decades of dirt in a single cleaning.
- Kinetic Water Ram / CO 2 Power Plunger Power is a shock wave through the tap, generated by compressed air or a CO 2 cartridge. Fantastic when you can not even afford water on the floor.
- Toilet Bore Scope / Endoscope Camera 8 mm waterproof camera on a 5 -10 metre cable. This gives us a close-up of what we see and where the blockage is in 60 seconds. Used in 70 % of our calls.
- Enzyme & Bacteria Treatments (prevent only). Poured overnight following mechanical cleaning -eats the leftover organic remains.
What Definitely Does NOT Work (and Usually Makes It Worse)
- Regular plunger (useless past the first bend)
- Boiling water + dish soap (can crack the porcelain)
- Liquid drain chemicals (eat rubber seals and PVC)
What to Do in the Next 3 Minutes If Your Toilet Won’t Flush and the Water Is Already at the Rim
First, immediately shut off the water supply — twist the valve behind or below the toilet, or close the main shut-off for the bathroom if you can’t find the local one. Next, grab a plastic grocery bag (turn it inside out over your hand like a glove) or long rubber gloves. Reach straight into the bowl: 92 % of clogs are sitting in the first 10–16 inches and can be pulled out by hand in under 30 seconds. If you feel something and it comes free, problem solved. If you can’t grab it or it’s stuck deeper, whatever you do, DO NOT flush again — a second flush is the single fastest way to send dirty water cascading over the rim and across your floor. At that point, stop everything and call us immediately. We’ll be on the road within minutes, at your door in 30–60 minutes anywhere in Kingston, and we’ll clear it completely clean with no mess left behind. Follow these steps and you’ll almost always avoid a nightmare that can easily cost $5,000–$15,000 in damage.
30-Second Home Test You Can Do Right Now
Grab a bucket, fill it with 8–10 litres of water, and dump it into the toilet all at once.
- Everything disappears instantly → you’re good.
- Water rises and drains slowly → you’re already 60–80 % blocked. Call today.
Save this list and never flush those seven things again — and we might never have to meet 🙂
But if it’s already too late, Super Drain Kingston is one call away. They cover all of Kingston — usually there in 30–60 minutes, toilet flushing like new in 15–40 minutes, guaranteed. It all depends on the complexity of the blockage, so please clarify this when you call.
