Clogged Toilet
Everyone has had this problem from time to time. If you're new to this, it is easy
to do as long as something like a brush isn't stuck down in the toilet trap. If there
are "solids" plugging the toilet up then it is normally easy to unclog the toilet.
Step 1
Normally you get yourself a plunger as a first step. There are two kinds: one is
pictured at right and the other has an additional cone at the bottom.
Step 2
Place the plunger over the drain hole at the bottom and begin working the plunger
up and down. Start gently at first and build up a head of steam. When the blockage
is cleared, the toilet will begin to drain.
Step 3
If the blockage will not clear, then you may have to resort to a toilet auger.
A toilet auger is a special short snake especially for toilets.
Step 4
Place the plastic elbow at the bottom of the toilet and gently turn the handle
while working the snake into the toilet trap.
Step 5
It is worth examining the toilet base for evidence of leaks while you are at this.
If the base looks like the one at right then you should do some more investigation.
