Unclog a Toilet

1. Once you notice there’s a problem, big or small, use the toilet as little as possible. This will help prevent overflow and water damage, which can be costly.

2. Insert a plunger into the toilet, making sure the rubber globe, or cup, is fully seated over the drain opening.

3. Push down on the plunger handle with firm but careful strokes. Rough, careless use can damage the toilet bowl. If the clog isn’t too tight, these bursts of increased water pressure will probably clear the obstruction.

4. Consider a drain cleaner only as a last resort. Make sure that any product you use is specifically marked as safe for use with porcelain, and follow the manufacturer’s directions carefully. Never mix any of these chemical agents, asdangerous reactions could occur.

5. Flush the toilet several times to remove the drain cleaner and to check the flow.
