What it usually is
A toilet that clogs once is usually a one-off. One that keeps clogging, or where other drains gurgle too, may have a partial blockage in the line.
What to do first
Do not flush again. Use a flange plunger gently. If water rises toward the rim, shut the valve behind the toilet clockwise.
The flat rate that covers it
- Toilet repair (fill valve / flapper / seal): $179
- Single drain clearing (accessible cleanout): $189
Des Moines is a Puget Sound waterfront city with a marina, hillside homes and a mix of mid-century and newer housing. Des Moines homes on the bluff and near the water can be on slopes with long sewer runs, and salt air is hard on exposed fittings.
