If you have a plunger and a cable auger (a.k.a. toilet snake) you can unclog most toilets without calling a plumber. This is how to do it:
1. Put on gloves. If you have long hair tie it back.
2. Splash some water on the toilet bowl to wet it down and make a good seal for the plunger.
3. Put the plunger over the hole in the bottom of the bowl and push and pull the plunger up and down. Be sure to keep the plunger submerged as much as possible to create suction.
4. Once you’ve loosened the clog flush the toilet to clear it completely.
5. If the plunger doesn’t do the trick try using a toilet snake. Start by feeding the snake into the hole at the bottom of the bowl.
6. Keep feeding the snake into the hole until you feel resistance. This means you’ve hit the clog.
7. Start turning the snake handle clockwise to break up the clog.
8. Once you’ve broken up the clog flush the toilet to clear it completely.
9. If you can’t seem to get the clog cleared it’s time to call a plumber.
