One of the problems that is most common that people have is getting a clogged toilet.Sometimes it isn't difficult and a plunger will be all you need.Then there will be some occassions when a plumber will be needed to come and fix it. But for most people I am going to share a few tips that will hopefully fix it so you won't need a plumber.
Now these are some tricks I have picked up running my Temecula plumbing business.But these are steps that most homeowners will be able to do. They don't require expensive equipment.It won't be necessary that you have extensive knowledge about plumbing to fix it. Just follow some directions and you can fix it.
First thing you have to do is use a plunger. Everyone has a plunger and most clogged toilets can be freed from it.The plungers that work the best will have a fold out cup.That cup is what you are going to fit into the toilet trap. That allows a good suction.Then all you are going to need to do is use an even back and forth motion.This should do the trick in clearing the toilet.
Another piece of equipment you can use is a toilet auger.How it looks is it has a J shaped tube and a cable attached.Something similar to a drain snake. It is one of my most used tools for my Murrieta plumbing service.You can get them at most of your hardware stores. What you do is insert the end of the auger into the toilet. Then you push the handle forward and crank it in a clockwise motion.This essentially clears any debris and will have the toilet unclogged.
These two equipment pieces should do a good job of fixing it. But of course if it doesn't then you will need a good plumber to come out.It costs more money than if you did it by yourself. But when you are unable to do it yourself, it is worth it to get it fixed. Because having a clogged toilet in the house is no fun.Plus it will lead to a lot of other problems.
