Clogged Toilet Repair in Oakville – Plunger Not Working?
A clogged toilet that refuses to clear — even after aggressive plunging — is one of the most stressful plumbing issues for Oakville homeowners. When water rises, overflows, or backs up into your bathtub or sink, it typically means the blockage is deep in the toilet drain, main sewer line, or the pipe is damaged.
At 17 Plumbing & Construction Design Ltd., we provide fast, reliable, licensed emergency toilet unclogging services across Oakville & Burlington. Our plumbers are on call for urgent blockages, overflows, burst pipes, and sewage backups.
Why Your Plunger Is Not Fixing the Clog
A plunger only works for
surface-level toilet blockages.
If it isn’t working, the clog is deeper or caused by:
Common reasons plungers fail:
- Tree roots inside the main sewer line
- Foreign objects flushed accidentally
- Hard blockage deep in the trapway
- Broken, collapsed, or corroded toilet drain pipe
- Heavy toilet paper buildup
- Wax ring deterioration
- Calcium, scale, and buildup in old toilets
- Sewer line backup affecting multiple fixtures
If your plunger is “just making bubbles” — the clog is downstream, not in the bowl.

- Toilet water rising dangerously high

- Sewer smell coming from the toilet
- Water backing up into the tub when you flush

What Causes a Burst Toilet Pipe?
In some homes, severe blockages cause pressure to build up behind the toilet line, leading to:
- Cracked ABS or PVC toilet pipes
- Separated joints
- Leaking behind the wall
- Water damage on lower floors
- Sewage exposure
We specialize in locating and repairing burst toilet drain sections using camera inspection and pressure testing.

How 17 Plumbing Fixes the Problem the Right Way
1. Detailed inspection (inside and outside the toilet)
We check the trapway, the toilet base, drain stack, and main sewer.
2. Professional snaking or power flushing
We use commercial-grade tools that remove blockages a plunger cannot reach.
3. Camera inspection if needed
For deep blockages or repeated clogs, we run a camera inside the line.
4. Full repair if a pipe is damaged
If your toilet line is cracked, loose, or leaking, we replace or repair the drain section.
5. Final testing & cleanup
We flush multiple times and run water through the system to confirm full drainage.
