    Lifesaver 👌🏻. Toilet was clogged for four days and times were getting desperate. Thought I had it unclogged a couple of days ago but must have only partially done the job. A combination of the water and plunging did the trick!

    Not even kidding, my toilet has been out of order for like three weeks. I’ve been using other toilets in the house but it’s 3:30am and I can’t sleep so I figured I’d try to fix it and MIKE WE DID IT!!!

I have been without this master bathroom toilet use for a week now. Thank you so much for publishing this and it worked beautifully.

    1:40 - 1) if water low - medium - take 1 - 2 gallons of water and pour it in all at once in the bowl. do not do this if water is high or near overflowing
    (uses force of water to push it down)
    3:20 2) Plunger with a narrow opening to push a large volume of water through (not air which will compress).
    6:05 3) Snake- hold it by its protective boot and put the end towards the hole of the toilet (so that anything that scratches you won't be able to see) and you can start to extend the snake (his is 6 feet long)
    Thanks Mike!

Finally, I took the plunger and did exactly what you said "fill the plunger with water, then plunge a number of times without lifting the plunger." It worked!!!

    Woo Hoo!!! Mike you are the man!!! Yep, I accidentally threw baby wipes in the toilet and clogged it severely. Panicking, I turned to RUclips and watched some videos but yours, in my opinion, is the best. It is simple, easy to follow and voila!!! My toilet has been set free. I hope I didn't wake my neighbors when I screamed with joy and did my happy dance. It really is amazing how life works. I cannot afford a plumber but I do believe in prayer so instead of praying for money, I prayed for advice. So, Mr. Mike, by posting this much needed information, you answered a prayer from someone that you don't know and will likely never meet. You never know who you are helping in this world so I truly appreciate your free uploaded advice. I thank God for you and people like you. In these difficult times when finances are sparse, it is people like you who make the world a better place. I am sending prayers and goodwill your way. Thanks again. You are my hero!!!

    Thanks Mike! Your tip about the plunger shape and filling it with water did the trick. I have 2 plungers: bell-shaped like yours in the video and extended bellow type. The latter was the one that filled with enough water to push it all through. The bent hanger usually works to loosen up the blockage, but not this time. With the bowl filled almost to the brim, I thought I'd need a plumber until I saw this video.

With 2 different types of plungers. I was desperate and my bathroom smelled so bad. I figured if it didn't work I'd be no worse off but to my surprise it worked instantly! I heated up some soapy water and waited 2 minutes before I began plunging again and down it went!!!! Thank God!! I didn't have money for a plumber and it helped to clean it

    Pretty old video but helped me in a pinch. I was actually plunging the toilet the wrong way. I did it in a up and down movement, still being in the hole but might not have been as effective while you just put the plunger right in the hole. I did just that and in one try its all fixed. Been trying for almost an hour so thank you for not making it last longer. Parents would have been livid.

    What helped me about this clip was watching how you put a lot of strength into the plunger. It made me go back and try again. I watched how you had the water in the plunger and made sure to do that when I was working on my clog. I was about to give up after hours of pouring hot water and salt into the toilet. But then I thought I would give it one more try. I pushed and pushed and gave it my all....then I flushed. And to my surprise, the toilet flushed. Before the water was climbing to the top of the bowl and refused to go down and so I was taking the water out with a cup for hours. Thanks for your insight. Grateful we can flush the toilet again!

    Unfortunately I had the luck of only having the bowl shaped plunger which is useless. Something that I think helped me overcome this was, I laid a small trash bag into the toilet, I slowly placed the bad shaped useless bowl shaped plunger, and pressed against the bag, the goal was to use the bag as a way to SEAL OFF the pressure being applied with the useless plunger, because the bowl shaped plunger is round, the weak spot is that the plunger does not seal, so the bag acts as a seal. But be careful, u want to be fast enough to catch the bag so it won’t plush, I tried the hot water method, with dish soap etc pouring water etc wouldn’t work until I used this bag method I just came up with.

    The small holes around the bowl and the large hole water comes out will fill up with calcium and you can use a metal clothes hanger and remove the scale from each hole--helps more then anything--you should do it every couple of years--even it on city water

    • @tuxcats8518
      @tuxcats8518 4 года назад +2

      Spray the holes underneath the rim with white vinegar or pour the vinegar down the overflow tube and wait overnight. That may help dissolve or flush out some of the deposits, making it easier to clean out the holes.
