You don’t require to be a licensed plumber to know how to unclog a toilet. If you are faced with a situation in which you clogged a toilet, these are some simple steps you can learn to avert disaster.
Prevent the toilet from over-flowing.
• If the toilet doesn’t flush properly after one flush, do not flush it again.
• Take off the cover on the back of the commode and close the toilet flapper.
• If splashing should happen to occur, put towels down onto the floor to soak up the water.
• Use a high- quality plunger.
• Insert the plunger into the bowl.
• Shove and pull water through the opening, not air.
• Pump plunger over the hole. Start slowly at first to avoid any mishaps that could be messy.
• Push down and then pull up abruptly to attempt to loosen the clog.
• If plunging drains it, but the clog is still preventing a free flow through the drain, put the plunger in the bowl and fill up the bowl with water again, then plunge again.
• You might have to replicate this process several times before everything is cleared.
