How to Unblock a Toilet

Unblocking a toilet may seem like a daunting task, but it's not that difficult if you have the right tools and know-how. Here's how you can unblock a toilet.

Using a Plunger

A plunger is one of the most common tools used to unblock a toilet. Here's how to use a plunger.

1. Make sure the water level in the bowl is not too high. If the water level is too high, use a bucket to remove some of the water.
2. Position the plunger over the drain and make sure the plunger covers the drain completely.
3. Push and pull the plunger vigorously to create suction. Repeat several times until the blockage is cleared.

Using a Drain Snake

If the plunger doesn't work, you can use a drain snake to remove the blockage. Here's how to use a drain snake.

1. Insert the end of the drain snake into the toilet bowl and push it down the drain until you feel resistance.
2. Rotate the drain snake clockwise and anticlockwise until the blockage is dislodged.
3. Pull the drain snake out of the drain.
