Clogged toilets are a common occurrence, but that doesn’t make them any less of a pain. If your toilet is clogged, don’t despair \u2013 there are several things you can do to try and clear it before having to call a professional. Read on for some tips on how to unclog a toilet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Use a plunger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your toilet is clogged with something like toilet paper, the first step is to try and clear it with a plunger. Plungers<\/a> are one of the most effective ways to clear a clogged toilet, and they\u2019re relatively inexpensive and easy to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To use a plunger, first, place it over the drain of the toilet. Make sure the drain is completely covered by the plunger so that it creates a seal, and then plunge up and down rapidly. You should see the water start to swirl around as the clog is cleared. Be careful that water doesn’t overflow onto the floor while you’re plunging as this can make the mess worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use a plumbing snake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If plunging doesn’t work, your next step is to try using a snake. A plumbing snake also called a \u201cdrain auger\u201d) is a tool that is inserted into the drain of the toilet to break up the clog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To use a snake, first, lift up the toilet lid and insert the snake into the drain. Turn the snake handle to rotate the snake and push it through the clog. You should feel the snake snag on the clog and start to break it up. Keep turning the handle until the snake has cleared the clog. Be careful not to get the snake stuck in the drain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t have a plumbing snake, another option is to try using a hanger. To do this, straighten out a metal hanger and then insert it into the drain of the toilet. Twist the hanger around until you feel it snag on the clog. Then, pull the hanger out and the clog should come with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use dish soap and hot water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you can\u2019t clear the clog with a plunger or a snake, another tactic is to try using dish soap and hot water. This will help to break up the clog and flush it down the drain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do this, first, pour dish soap into the toilet. Then, pour hot water into the toilet until it\u2019s nearly full. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes and then flush the toilet. The dish soap will help to break up the clog and the hot water will help to flush it down the drain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use vinegar and baking soda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another option is to try using vinegar and baking soda<\/a>. This will help to create a chemical reaction that can break up the clog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do this, first, pour vinegar into the toilet. Then, pour baking soda into the toilet. The two ingredients will start to fizz and create a chemical reaction. Let the mixture sit for a few<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call a professional<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you can\u2019t clear the clog yourself, your final option is to call a professional. A professional plumber will have the tools and expertise to clear the clog quickly and efficiently. It will typically cost more to have a professional clear the clog, but it\u2019s a much better option than having water overflowing all over your bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will a toilet unclog eventually?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A clogged toilet will eventually clear itself \u2013 it\u2019s just a matter of time. But if the clog is causing the toilet to overflow, you\u2019ll need to take action sooner rather than later to prevent further damage. try one of the methods listed above to clear the clog, and if that doesn\u2019t work, call a professional plumber.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
