Toilet bowl chokes are a common occurrence in Singapore, with hundreds, and sometimes thousands, happening every day. Dealing with an emergency toilet bowl choke just before heading to work can be incredibly stressful. Especially if you only have one toilet at home, a clogged toilet bowl can quickly escalate into a disaster.
Toilet bowl chokes often occur due to the improper disposal of items like excessive toilet paper, which is commonly observed in shopping malls. Additionally, foreign materials such as baby wipes, sanitary pads, and paper towels, or even larger solid items like bottle covers, can also lead to clogged toilet bowls. In some cases, a weak flusher may contribute to the issue, as it struggles to flush down solid waste effectively. Fortunately, the solution is straightforward: replacing the weak flusher with a stronger one can help prevent future clogs and ensure proper waste disposal.
Most of the time, you find that plunging of the toilet bowl only temporarily clears the clogged toilet. It is crucial to find out why your toilet bowl chokes so often, it is advisable to rectify the root cause and settle it.
Toilet Bowl Choke Hundreds and sometimes thousands of toilet bowl choke happen in Singapore every single day. If would be super duper awful when someones wake up to an emergency toilet bowl choke before heading to work. A clogged toilet bowl will turn up to be a disaster if you only have one toilet at home.
Toilet bowl is sometimes choked by large volume of toilet paper which is not properly flushed or disposed, which we sometimes see it in shopping malls. Occasionally, toilet bowl will also be clogged by foreign materials such as baby wipes, sanitary pads, paper towels, or worse, large solid materials like bottle covers and more. Sometimes, clogged toilet bowl maybe also be caused by a weak flusher instead of blocked pipe as weak flusher is unable to flush down solid waste. The solution is simple, just replace with a stronger flush.
Most of the time, you find that plunging of the toilet bowl only temporarily clears the clogged toilet. It is crucial to find out why your toilet bowl chokes so often, it is advisable to rectify the root cause and settle it.
Clogged drain pipes usually come from other problems such as drain choke and floor trap choke, whereby floor traps are filled with dirt and residue, hence water is unable to be cleared properly. Signs of clogged drain pipes are noticeable. You will see signals such as water backing up, flooding, slow draining and low pressure.
To make it simple, you can prepare a homemade solution of vinegar, baking soda and lemon which will act as a dissolvent of dirt and residue. Pour it down the trap, followed by 4 tablespoons of baking soda and leave it for 5 minutes, then pour in another cup of vinegar and a cup of boiling water. Leave it for 10 minutes. This method works sometimes. If it does not, the next approach to use is a plunger. If a plunger is not helping, another easily accessible tool is a plumbing snake. It is a long and flexible metal cable with a small, uncoiled spring on one end and a handle on the other. A plumbing snake works by physically entering the drain, then contact with the blockage and clear away the obstruction directly. However, generally, if the accumulated dirt is too huge or too deep or has been there for too long, using the above solutions won’t work. You will have to look for a professional plumber for assistance.
There are two types of clogged sinks which are kitchen sink and toilet sink respectively. Both sink types are usually clogged for different reasons. Having a choked sink is one of the most common residential plumbing emergencies. If you are unable to clear the choke by yourself, you might want to call an emergency plumber to help you quickly resolve the plumbing issue.
Kitchen sink
Food and grease are the top reasons why a kitchen sink chokes. Instead of washing down food debris in your sink, dispose of it as much as possible into the trash bin directly. Even though we usually have bottle traps to catch large particles, over time, the small food debris will still accumulate and cause a clogged kitchen sink.
Grease is more stubborn than food debris when it comes to choke issues. Oily liquids will solidify when it is cool. Over time, it will develop a sticky build-up in the pipes that collect other debris washed down the pipe, such as food waste, dirt and more. Many will try to solve it by pouring chemicals into the pipe, however, it does not always work. If we keep on pouring leftover oil or oily food into the basin, choking will easily come back again.
Toilet wash sink
The biggest reason for toilet sink chokes, or water draining too slowly in a wash basin, is an accumulation of hairs, which may be already trapped over a certain period. Hairs are easily trapped as men used to shave in front of the basin. Other common culprits can be tissue paper, cotton balls and even contact lenses.
A little tip for you. When shaving over the sink, or trying to wash hairball down the sink, remember to remove the hairs from flowing down through the sink by placing a bottle trap. We can’t help that hair comes out of our heads naturally, but we can try to protect the drain as much as possible with small good practices, such as sweeping hair out of sinks and cleaning the hair brushes over the trash can.
#2 - Plumbing Leak
Leaking faucets or pipes is one of the most common household problems. When we hear a water dripping sound, it may seem like a simple leak coming from under your kitchen sink. But, did you know a leaky faucet could mean that there is something more serious going on with your pipes? Leaks can be as small as a drip, but they can also prove to be something much more disastrous to your home and belongings. These are a few signs you should take note of before leaking turns into a disaster. It is always wise to call up an Emergency Plumber in Singapore when you see these signals happen.
You hear the sound of water dripping or hissing inside walls
You begin to see your walls become warped or stained or paints bubbling
You receive outrageously high water bills without excessive use of water
You see invasive black mould indicating high moisture content
You see flooding/puddle of water on the floor without any source in sight

Reasons of Pipe Leak
Foundation shifts occurs overtime. A tiny shift in your home’s foundation may create big adjustments in your water lines, causing them to disconnect or rupture.
High water pressure which leads to damaging wear and tear on your pipes. pipes can only withstand a certain amount of water pressure. When the water pressure is too much for your pipes to bear, it breaks the pipe eventually resulting in leaks.
Corrosion happens on certain pipe materials or when corrosive materials pass through the draining system. Besides, over time, your pipes will age and corrosive substances such as rust will form throughout your plumbing system. Corrosion will eventually break down the pipe. If any discolouration or unusual changes are spotted around the pipes, it also indicates that corrosion has taken place.
Damaged pipe joints, whereby the weakest link would be around the connecting joints of the pipes. Joints consist of separate curved pieces attaching to straight pipes on either side and are responsible for redirecting water throughout your home. Over time, excess water pressure can be hard on pipe joints causing them to deteriorate. If pipe points are making a ticking or banging noise, chances are that you’re experiencing faulty joint issues.
Loose water connectors are due to the shifting or movement. Occasionally, hoses and pipes that supply water to your appliances become loose. As an example, your washing machine hose may spring a leak due to shaking during the spin cycle. If you notice water running directly from the supply line or forming puddles around the appliances, it may come from a loose water connector. Sometimes you may have to get a new connector or a whole set of taps if the connector becomes loose. We do have a range of tap products to choose from, click here to view them.
Fixtures such as a faucet directly connected to the water supply may have developed cracks. Sometimes, it is caused by physical impact such as someone tripping and catching themselves on the faucet. It can also occur out of sight (like under a sink) due to repeated items being forced into the cupboard. Click here to view our range of tap products.
Faulty seal may cause pipe leak. When appliances are installed, a contractor places rubber sealant around any connections to keep everything watertight. Over some time, the sealing may degrade leading to water leaking.
PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride. PVC pipes are usually used for sewage pipes instead of incoming water supply. It is commonly seen in HDB flats, as it is light, easy installation and requires relatively less equipment to develop a complete piping system.
Kitchen Pipe Leak
A worn-out washer is among the most common causes of leaking kitchen sinks. Each time you use the faucet, the washer is pressed against the valve seat which eventually results in worn-out washers. You may replace the washer by yourself. If the pipe continues to leak or you have another plumbing need, it is advisable to call the experts before it gets worse.
Water Tap & Faucet Leak
Various causes lead to tap leak issue, such as loose handles, high water pressure, poor fitting, low tap quality etc. If your tap installation or tap replacement is not done by a professional, chances are you will experience leak again after some time. Occasionally, you just have to change the entire set of tap. Click here to view our range of tap products.
Hard water build-up
In areas that have water with high levels of chemicals, there may be corrosion on the rubber washers that are meant to prevent faucets from leaking. This eventually leads to a leaky faucet.
Water Heater Leak
Water heater leaks can indeed be stressful, often signalling the need for replacement. The cost of replacement varies depending on the reason for the leak. Faulty parts such as valves, tanks, and piping connections can contribute to leaks. Signs of potential issues include leaks in the pressure relief valve, noisy units, discoloured water, or worn hardware. Before proceeding with a replacement, it's essential to conduct a thorough inspection to identify the root cause of the leak and optimize repair efforts. This ensures that the repair or replacement is tailored to address the specific issue, minimizing costs and maximizing efficiency.
Toilet Leak
Toilet base leak or water pooling at the base may be due to loose bolts, faulty seal or many other reasons. Avoid using your leaking toilet if possible as water seeping from your toilet probably causes unpleasant odours and potential health hazards. Flooding of standing water can also damage your flooring and subflooring as well as your ceiling on the lower floor.
