ABSTRACT:
A toilet overflow prevention system is provided and is incorporated with an otherwise standard toilet wherein the toilet bowl thereof is incorporated with an overflow inlet portal defined as a generally circular opening integrally formed within the left side of the concave inner wall of the toilet bowl. The overflow inlet portal provides passage to an auxiliary waste drain outlet which extends downward through toilet bowl frontal to the primary waste discharge pipe, and through the stool portion of the standard toilet, under which connection is made to an auxiliary waste outlet piping being in fluid communication with the primary waste discharge pipe. A reticulated grate element is mounted transversely atop the circular opening in order to trap debris contained within toilet bowl so as to facilitate ascension and discharge of water through auxiliary waste drain outlet, hence preventing unpleasant overflow.
