Clogged Toilet!!

[richman]

Well I'm doing some homework on this issue just thought I would ask for help here too.. One of my toilets is clogged good. Tried the force flush, tried to plunge the thing obviously.. cleaned the jets and made sure everything in the back is working. Though it still is clogged. Drains water slowly. Any input would be helpful thanks

Get a drain snake and run it down the line from the roof vent. Have a second person stay near the bathrooms to make sure you don't run it up out of the toilet and make a mess in the bathroom.

Now to just get the wife to quit flushing all those super absorbent feminine hygiene products and plugging up the sewer lines.

x2. You'll have to use that new snake a lot unless she quits flushing them.

FTW I have one of those as well as a different type of snake for the shower drain. I don't understand how my wife isn't bald with all the hair I fish out of the damn shower drain. Worth the small investment for sure.

I was going to say something like that, just couldnt figure out how to be polite about it. I had to unseat mine and snake it, it looked like a dead rat when it came out.

Yeah well guess I'm stuck cleaning up after my wife for a LONG time. then again she is also stuck with me!!!

told you that auger is a $$ saver.

I remember the first time I called Rotor Router when I first had an apartment with the wife, guy came in with one of those, 5 mins and $50-60 later, the toilet was unclogged.

Next trip to HD I bought one of those suckers!

Obama is going to make toilet snakes illegal to buy without a plumbing license.
Gotta look out for Joe the plumber!

Most homes have clean out service ports located on the side of the house or in the yard on the perimeter of the house just a few feet away.
