If your toilet is overflowing in Augusta, GA, turn off the water at the shut-off valve behind the toilet, near the floor, then call a plumber that handles emergency plumbing. Superior Plumbing treats overflowing toilets and other overflowing fixtures as emergency plumbing in the Augusta area.
How to stop the overflow:
Turn the valve behind the toilet clockwise until it stops.
If the valve won't turn, lift the tank lid and push the flapper down, or lift the float to stop the tank from refilling.
Don't flush again until the clog is cleared.
Wipe up standing water to protect your floor.
After the overflow stops, the fix depends on the cause. Superior Plumbing can clear the blockage with drain cleaning and clog removal, or repair or replace the toilet through toilet repair and installation. You get your options and the price before work begins.
