How to Quickly Unclog a Toilet<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that for larger toilet backups, you will need\nto implement some further strategies, including turning off the mail water\nshutoff and using a toilet auger to release major obstructions. For all other minor\nto moderate toilet clog ordeals, you can rely in the fool-proof, failsafe\nunclogging strategy outlined below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What You Will Need<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

For this easy, two-step toilet unclogging method, all you\nneed is a plunger and some patience. In addition to these items, you may want\nto add on some disinfectant cleaner, bleach, odor removal products, and other supplies\nthat might alleviate the aftermath of a clogged or overflowing toilet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26a0 WARNING: DO NOT FLUSH A SECOND TIME!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a toilet begins to overflow after a flush, do nothing except perhaps grab some towels! The worst thing you can do is try to flush the toilet again before you implement your strategy. Flushing a second time will only send more water to the bowl and further increase the volume of the overflow. Basically, you will have contaminated toilet water all over the floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What To Do Instead<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Instead of flushing again, wait for the toilet to stop flushing.\nThen continue to wait another 10 minutes, or until the water level in the bowl has\ndropped. If the water level does not drop, you might have a more serious toilet\nclog than you can deal with on your own. In this case, go ahead and try the two-step\nmethod, but if it does not work, or makes too much of a mess, contact an\nemergency plumber for professional repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2728 THE TWO-STEP TOILET UNCLOGGING METHOD:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ONE:<\/strong> Use your plunger to release the clog. Place it over the top of the opening inside your toilet bowl, and them push and pump the plunger 2 to 3 times. Once you are done <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TWO:<\/strong> Flush the toilet to see if the clog has been released. If the toilet completes a flush successfully, you have fixed the issue! If it does not, repeat the two-step method. If it still does not work, contact a licensed Indianapolis plumber for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
