Toilet overflowing — Krakow, Lesser Poland
An overflowing toilet is a plumbing emergency that can cause immediate water damage to floors, subfloors, and ceilings below. The cause is typically a clog in the drain line or a stuck flapper valve that won't stop the fill cycle. Shut off the supply valve behind the toilet immediately, then call a plumber if a plunger doesn't clear the blockage within a few attempts.
