How to Unblock a Toilet Using a Drain Snake

A drain snake is a more effective method of unblocking a toilet than a plunger. It works by inserting the snake into the toilet bowl and breaking up the blockage. Here's how you use it:

1. Ensure that the toilet bowl has significant water.
2. Insert the drain snake into the drain of the toilet.
3. Create a circular motion to break up the blockage.
4. Remove the drain snake and flush the toilet to check if the blockage has cleared.
