Question

Hoe does one unstop a toilet when the plunger doesn't work?

Answer 1

If the clog is in the toilet itself then you use a closet auger. It's a snake that's 1/2" x 3' long it's made to unclog toilets. Make sure the cable is 1/2" not 1/4"

Also if you use those things that blows air through the lines, you can ruin your pipes depending on how old the pipe is......

Answer 2

You need an auger. This is a six foot snake specially for toilets. They cost about $ 35. You use them once and they paid for themselves. Maybe you can rent one. Be careful not to scratch the toilet bowl. The auger has a rubber sleeve where it is bent. Make sure this has contact and not the metal. Also when your toilet is clogged you can if it is empty flush once. It will not take a second flush. good luck.

Answer 3

You're going to get every suggestion known to man probably, but more importantly you need to determine the cause of THE clog, or any continuing clogs, and solve that issue. Obviously there are only a critically few number of "THINGS" that should be flushed in a toilet. Beyond that, the FLOW rate does matter.

  You can have a closet full of FIXERS, and spend $$$, but before you do, I suggest you know the WHY of the clog.

   A Toilet, in an absract way, resembles, human intestines, it has an "S" trap built into it. That "trap" is not there to do much more than move waste, in a compacted form/shape of the bowl, to the sewage vent. It is not designed to TRAP, but certainly can trap Pampers, tampon tubes, combs, tooth brushes, rubber duckies a child flushes, etc.

Just my two "sense"
