How to unclog a toilet?

Post by **rep** » Sun Mar 13, 2005 8:13 pm

Anyone got a tip or trick?

King turd is apparently stuck in the pipes somewhere, and I've just got one of those accordion styled plastic plungers. It hasn't worked, and I've tried plunging for maybe thirty minutes.

I tried liquid dish washing soap, and it seemed to maybe break things up a bit because now at least water is passing through, but I'm afraid whatever is clogged is still there because it's very sluggish.

I don't want to buy a plumber's snake, or call up a plumber. Is there any magic plunge method that works?

what about that stuff you spray down in two seperate bits that expands like expansion foam and then gets washed away?

I've never heard of that. Is it Liquid Drano? I don't want to buy that either since it's a waste of $10, really.

stick your head on the bowl for 2 mins

dont worry if you pass out and choke its quite normal

Try putting most of the force on the pull instead of push so that it pulls a vaccum. That's worked for me a few times.

That would be my choice, guess he's to cheap to buy one though.

Yeah, for that to happen I'd have to have arms no thicker than a penis, like you, andyman.

Muriatic Acid :icon14:

Really just hydrochloric acid, but it's for cleaning concrete. Cleans out the poo pipes real good.

Won't harm the pipes either.

!

ehh but this is after you've pushed the bulk of the clog away. If water is sitting on it, yeah use the pipe snake or liquid plumber...

Hello Rep

If you have access to the pipe in the basement. There should be a plug that you can remove and just use a hanger or some sort of
long rod to try to unplug it.
If not...Before using your accordeon like unplugger...Make sure to
put the caps in all your household lavatory, as, the bath cap, the
sink cap of the kitchen and the bathroom.
This way you will have more pressure in that precise place..the toilet.

Good luck
Pete

Better hope they're not metal. On second thought, rep, pour a 55 gallon drum of it down your bog. Breathe real deep when you're pouring it, too.

And pour some in your shoes.

Put some chlorine and alcohol in a bottle and throw it in your toilet.

Try taking a metal hangar and straightening it out, then jaming it down in there to see if you can hook the shit/toilet paper/douche/maxipad/tampon/dildo/wadded condoms/etc. that are clogging things up.

I clogged a toilet last year - I shat, then wiped, forgetting that there was already some tp in the shitter from when I was blowing my nose in the bathroom earlier in the day. I flush, and as I am getting up, I see the most horrrible thing in the world - the shitty water rising quickly towards the lip of the bowl. I barely was able to get the water shut off behind the toilet without having a REAL fucking mess all over the floor.

I was able to use one of those accordian jobs to get things done, luckily. Went and bought one, then used it, and immediately double bagged it in a Hefty sacks, then tossed it. I have never re-used a plunger....although that was only the second time I've needed one.

heh.

There are no vacuums in nature...or toilets.

heh.

What I mean by that is push the plunger down all the way and pull back quick and it will act like a suction cup. What would you call that? Suction? Ok, so maybe I worded it wrong. :P

It wouldn't hurt to try using rep's head as a plunger but I think FlamingTP's would probably do a better job as a plumbing snake
