Get a big towel, like a beach size towel. Twist it around, then stick it all the way into the toilet, right down the whole; obviously make sure you have a glove on. Keep your hand down there for a couple minutes, which will allow the towel to slowly get into that water hole. Then slowly jank the towel out and the problem will be fixed.

Was the water cold or hot?

If you pour boiling water in the toilet, it unclogs it like 99% of the time.

I'm going to warn you now that it's going to be disgusting. You're basically going to make a shit soup sauna, but I know from experience that this is very likely to clear up the clog.

hmmm. Ok I'll give that a try
Title: Re: My toilet is blocked
Post by: Ecrofirt on June 10, 2008, 09:04:44 PM
hmmm. Ok I'll give that a try
When I did it, it took about 2 gallons of water to clear up the clog, but it definitely worked.

Toilet plungers are going for 90 bucks at Home Depot.  Make sure to get the model number of your toilet before going over there otherwise they won't be able to help. 

Model number is the back.

Nope. Just get decent coverage on the drain and start pumping. You don't have to do it fast repeatedly, either, which may be why you're getting splash damage.

Nah, you're going to need one anyway.

If you can't find the model number, just take a picture of the toilet and show it to the guys that work there.  They'll help you out.

Last I checked, they are universal. If you have a toilet, you just go and buy... a... plunger!

A regular plunger will ruin your toilet for good.  You need a Toilet Plunger.


PD, just take a photo of your toilet to Home Depot.  Make sure you get a good shot of the bowl.  You may want to get a pic of the blockage too.

The people at Home Depot are there to help.

Man, you're getting plunger to unclog a toilet. This is one of the most straightforward things to do. You're not upgrading weapons in an RTS.

Collateral damage  :lol

I don't know, but where I live (and this is the first world we're talking about, not some third-world backwater) you can buy only one type of plunger for your toilet, and I've never heard anyone complain ever about ruining their toilets because they used the wrong plunger!

I guess toilet plungers are more advanced than I could ever imagine...

Post by: Bildi on June 10, 2008, 10:00:53 PM
You could get a garden hose and shove it down there.  Then turn it on full bore for a brief moment, then off, then on, then off.  Depending on how it's draining you can have it running while you prod with it.

I don't know how plumbing works where you live, but if the blockage is in the pipes outside the house you may be able to gain access from a drain or pipe plug outside.

When I had earthenware pipes I had to unblock it a few times like this because they were breaking up underground.

Reach your hand down in that shit, you can wash it afterward. As far as the plunger goes, if it is going inside out, you are doing it wrong. Place the outside of the cup around the whole, depress a couple of times. You are trying to cause some suction with the plunger, not force that shit down.
Title: Re: My toilet is blocked

If it's blocked within reach, I agree with Zero Hero - just get your hand down there.

Try to enjoy it.

I gave you the solution. A plunger only works when there's perhaps half a feces in the bowl. The towel method works every fucking time no matter what. Just get a glove dude. Do you have a rain coat? It's not like you're going to get splashed but it sounds like you need the mental comfort

Hitler is making this thread incredible.

Do what I used to do...

Ready the plunger over the hole and flush the toilet (or if you want to be really careful, fill the toilet with water).  And then pump slowly but firmly about 3 times and move it away.  the extra pressure from the water and you plunging should make it go.  I've never had to do anything more than that.  Flushing works better because of all the force being added at once.  I used to clog a lot of toilets.  But I haven't clogged one in like ...7 years?  You can do it!

okay the plot has thickened....

I went out for a bit to run some errands, got back and plunged the thing some more, tried flushing to see if the situation has imroved. The bowl filled up AND now theres toilet water leaking out where the pipe connects to the wall... not good! At least now at I can get a plumber around at the landlords expense

I was disappointed with the results.  Perhaps my turds were too hard for it to handle.  Then when I tried to take it back for a refund the dude at Bed, Bath, and Beyond wouldn't take it because I'd used it.  I pointed out to him that there was no way I could have known the sonic plunger wouldn't work unless I, you know, used it in a toilet, but here it is sitting in my utility closet, a $125 reminder never to buy any of that "as seen on tv" crap ever again.

Don't use a sonic plunger if your cistern is ceramic.  It can lead to cracks - even if you don't see them at first it can happen just under the enamel and sit for a long time before leaking.

If your cistern is plastic, go for it.

I don't know what kind of funky shit you did (lolpun) to make this get to two pages but I suggest putting the plunger, slowly pushing the plunger down to get as much air as you can out of it, and then letting it just pull revert to it's normal shape by sucking in the toilet water.  That suctioning is what unclogs it.  Just pushing on it is a bad idea.

a plumber came aorund yesterday and checked things out... turns out the whole wastewater drainage system is fucked, he said some dude with a bigger tool needed to come around today  :-* The shit cleaning gear was so high powered it needed a whole truck to house it! Anyway he had a 20 metre long power drain unclogger thing and said the the blockage was super chronic and shit. Should hopefully be fixed now. Now I dont feel useless for not being able to plunge the thing lol

And thank god I didnt try PD's towel trick!
