How to Unclog Your Toilet in 4 Easy Steps

Step #1
Toilet clogs almost always occur at the top of the tight, up-curving trap that is part of the fixture. In most cases a plunger can clear the obstruction.

Step #2
If plunging does not work you will need a closet auger. Place auger into the bowl with the bent tip aiming up. Hold steady as you crank and push on the handle. make sure you’re wearing goggles and gloves.

Step #3
Continue cranking until you’ve dispensed the entire cable – about 3 feet.

Step #4
Flush the toilet to clear up the drainpipe. If it’s still a little clogged then run the auger two more times.

Those are the 4 steps to clearing a clogged toilet. If you think you can do it yourself go ahead and give it a try. However, if you need help then call a plumber in Suffolk County.
