Clogged Drains Unclogged Fast |
90% of clogged toilets just require a plunger but it’s only when you don’t address it right away that it becomes a major issue. Every home should own this simple tool because it can be used on shower drain clogs and sink clogs too. Some other things to consider when unclogging a toilet is you might want to wear rubber gloves and have extra towels to clean up the mess.
How to know it’s clogged
A poor flush partially or completely will indicate there is a clog. If the toilet bowl is completely full give 10 minutes for water level to drop before starting step 1.
Step 1: Grab the plunger
First, place rubber flange in the toilet making a good seal on the toilet drain. Before you start plunging you will want to make sure there is enough water in the bowl so that it forces enough air to clear the clog. You will want to start slow and then vigorously push the plunger in and out. This could take 15-20 times before the clog clears. If it clears then you are good and just clean the mess. If not head to step 2 of the process
Step 2: Snake
It’s time to get out the snake. Never used one? Snakes are a great way to get deep into the plumbing system and can be used to clear many types of clog issues. If you don’t own one they can be rented or call your local plumbing company to take care of the task. Once you have the snake, push the cable down to the clog and then rotate clockwise, so the tip clears up the clog.
If all else fails the toilet probably needs to be pulled up to find the source of the clog. We recommend hiring an experienced plumber to take care of this issue.
