How do I unclog my toilet?
Many of us have had to deal with a blocked toilet , shower , or sink.
The Plunger A rubber plunger is one of the most popular solutions for a clogged bathroom. A rubber plunger will unclog the toilet 90% of times. A rubber bell-shaped plunger is best to keep on hand. It has an extension flange that allows you to properly plunge your toilet. To be prepared for unexpected situations, we recommend having a spare plunger. Although they can cost anywhere from $5 to $20, plungers are often affordable and can be used to address other household problems such as clogged drains or blocked tubs.

To properly seal the rubber against porcelain, insert the plunger into the toilet. To help remove the clog, push and pull the plunger forcefully. This should be repeated 15-20 times. To help with any water that spills from the no clog toilet bowl, keep towels handy. After you have purged, lift the flapper valve and remove the tank lid to ensure water is circulating into the toilet bowl. To check if the water level is dropping, flush the toilet. If the water is not going down and the system remains clogged, do not flush the toilet. To remove the clog, you can repeat the process and check the water quality before flushing. Flushing while the clog is still present can lead to flooding. This can be both dangerous for your bathroom and unsanitary.
