![How to use a toilet snake [auger]](/img/1.gif)
Bro I’m gonna be a pluming expert by the end of tonight
Haha thanks for watching
@@ThePlumbingGurus 2 months later, and I find out that there’s a root in our toilet drain…but this video still helped👍
you are an excellent communicator! You don’t short cut and skip rudimentary bits of information. You relay those little important things that only experience can teach you, yet you allow viewers the benefit of that experience. Outstanding and thanks so much. I’m on my way to Home Depot now!
Thank you! That’s a very nice comment to read
Made my day 👍🏾
Not sure how I found this channel as I don't plan on doing much plumbing in my future but I've watched a few videos and I must say you seem like such kind and helpful guys! Keep up the great content :)
Well thanks very much for that amazing comment! Much appreciated!
Shot out to YOU!! For 2 days been stressin’! Vinegar & baking soda, dishwashing liquid & hot water and plunging like crazy and nothing worked!! My daughter said you need to call a plumber I said I am the plumber 😂😂 really I’m not just didn’t want to pay one. Finally got a snake and you walked me through it! Thank you!!! God Bless you and Happy Holidays to you and your family!
Thank you 🙏
Happy I could help you out with this. And great work taking on the task yourself
Thx sir, you just saved me a service call. Not sure how much but I was about to call, saw this video, went to harbor freight and $14 later my toilet was fixed.
👊
Glad I could help👍🏾
good vid! Great job explaining and demonstrating. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the demonstration. Im 45 and have done maintenance for years and have never had anyone explain it the way you can. Good job! I appreciate the time you spent doing the video. Keep up the good work.
You betcha! Happy to help.
Is that a Saab on your profile picture?
Simplified demonstration including but not limited to simple tricks such as a bucket to hold the dirty water until cleaning the auger outside the house. Well done video.
Happy to help! Thanks for watching
First time I had to do one of these, never imagined I would have had to, your instructions taught me how to get it done!
Happy to help, thanks for watching
Good info. Looks like that was an actual clogged toilet. Judging by the brown water. Thanks!
Thanks for watching
Hey man. Thanks for the tip to slide the lead part all the way in and then tip the part in your hands back. I had to do it a few times, as it was a pretty bad clog, but it's all good now, plus no scratches on the inside of the bowl. Very good presentation skills! Thumbs-up for you!
Glad it helped and thanks for the awesome feedback
I remember my son stuck a soap bar and it got stuck in the s trap. I learned how to use an auger that day.
Oh no..😟
Good video, you had a couple things other videos didnt. Unfortunately I'm now searching for a 'How to dislodge a stuck toilet auger'
Glad it helped
1st year in real hotel maint. Much appreciated
Nice instructive video man, I have the Ridgid 6' Auger i just bought and for some reason mine will not go more than a foot into the toilet drain, it seems like it's hitting something on the inside, and at one point it even double-backed and started to come back out the drain as i'm turning the crank and pushing down. I think the design of the Auger head is catching on things. I'm stuck...
Hi.
Have you tried taking your toilet off and inspecting the bottom??
@@ThePlumbingGurus I'm doing that today, I think the design of the toilet prevents augers from being inserted into the bowl drain. Cheap POS Home Depot brand toilet (Glacier Bay)
Sometimes it takes a bit of work to push the snake through the toilet. And yes those are not good toilets.
@@ThePlumbingGurus yes i'm aware of the effort it could take but this toilet doesn't have an actual opening that's large enough to fit the cable through, I tried to handfeed it through with gloves on and it's hitting against the porcelain at a certain point and there's no "opening", it's weird. And previously when i thought it was going in about 1', it was actually just coiling up in the area where stoppage is and eventually started coming back out where i inserted it. I been looking online everywhere on what kinda toilet bowl drain it is or the design and there' s no info anywhere
Thank you. It turns out I didn't know how to properly use my snake properly. Now I do. 🙏🙏🙏
Glad I could help!
Never shake your plummers hand after the job is done! Knucks!
Never!
Thanks so much for instructions, I got my toilet going All the best!
You betcha!
Happy to help
Thank you!!
That was incredibly well done! You broke down and explained each step along the way. You are an excellent teacher!!
Happy to help! Thanks for watching
Clear instructional video, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, that was very informative!
You're very welcome!
Is this work for all types of toilets? Im just curios🙏
Yes it does
Nice tutorial for homeowners
Thanks for watching
BULL when you say that you can get another 3 feet by just pushing in the button. Even when you push in the button and start pulling out, the button does not appear in the lower hole. Why did I waste my time and money on this piece of crap. I’ll call the plumber tomorrow.
You clearly don’t know how to use tools.
You are better off to call a professional
My toilet is overflowing. Poop everywhere. I open RUclips, desperate for help! Luckily, I only have to sit through three advertisements for Wells Fargo before I get to content. I hate RUclips.
Then call someone and pay for it 😂
Yesterday started with one toilet at bottom was leaking so replace wax ring . Noticed toilet right in the next room was clogged I've tried plunger but it's bigger problem since looks like crap coming up in that next room's shower drain . I know you don't know how my lines are running this way or that but what can you tell me ? Seems next step is auguer / snake it but not sure where to enter . Have one cleanout I might use but it's way in the backyard ..
You can try pulling the toilet and snaking through there
Seems my obstruction is way further down the line and this small auger won’t do it. I say it’s further away because now crap is coming up from next restroom’s shower drain. What can I use in small cramped restroom that’s sure to reach obstruction?
Hi
Your best bet is to either rent a 3” drain cleaner or hire someone to drain clean it for you.
You are best to clean the drain through the toilet.
I’ve been trying to snake my toilet for 2-3 weeks now. Had no idea that little button extended it out 3’. Unclogged first time I extended it. Thank you!!
Glad I could help!
YOU GIVE THE BEST DESCRIPTION
Thank you 😊
I have a unique item stuck. A deodorant stick lid. Any tips
That’s a tough one. I would give the snake a good effort. Might take a bit of time.
From my experience those kind of objects are really hard to unclog
@@ThePlumbingGurus thank you. I'm in a negative mood about it. I'm going to have to call a plumber.
It's actually sparked my interest into becoming one so I can do these tasks myself.
Maybe I can trade services to other tradesmen because these things get expensive.
Thank you for your help. One of the most disgusting jobs I have ever done. But someone had to step up to the bowl.
Happy to help
Great Video that will come handy .
Glad you think so!
Many thanks. From England.
You betcha!
Great instructional video! Special thanks for covering 'real' secrets of how to use pressure correctly, and how to let the tool work vs. brute forcing it. People are already likely in a 'pissy' mood having to snake a drain (pardon the pun there). The temptation to just power it through is pretty natural. LOL.
Haha! Thanks for watching
very good job of showing us how to do this in a detailed manner, and being sanitary .
Happy to help!
Ty for this, got to 5:36 and unclocked it. I didnt realize all i needed to do was put in a little muscle. I wasnt using any trying not to scratch the porcelain. Im 13 lol.
You betcha! Happy to help out
Good job on getting it done
Good video man, I bet you've clogged a few toilets in your day!

Haha ya it can get messy

I like how detailed and thorough you were. Thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for watching
