The toilet clogged and overflowed. Now the toilet doesn't flush completely.?

Question

We plunged the toilet, but did not use the plunger specific to toilets (just used the one for flat surfaces, the one with just the hole, not the cone). We then tried flushing the toilet and this time, the water level in the bowl rose, almost to the top, but didn't overflow. There was some swirling action, but the bowl emptied slowly and didn't empty completely. It reached the base of the bowl where the hole is and then made a gurgle. Anyone know what this could mean and how to fix it? Do those regular plungers really not work? Should I get a toilet plunger?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer 3

You should eat less fiber.

Answer 4

Try hot water...some pour boiling water...I would go as far as hot, not boiling. This will sometimes work...your next step is the toilet plunger...if that fails call a plumber

Answer 5

get a plunger, it's only 3 dollar or less in a dollar store. and plunged it again. the water in the bowl is not suppose to rise all the way  to the top. keep flushing it

Answer 6

You need to buy a toilet plunger. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO TELL YOU TO FLUSH THE TOILET!!!!

If you flush the toilet, it can overflow and cause a BIG mess.

Once you buy the toilet plunger, keep plunging the toilet. DON'T FLUSH IT!

The plunge will make the "items" go down by itself.

Good luck!!!! (:
