So... ummm... Yeah any ideas? Clearly a plunger isn't working lol
cut a wire hanger and make it straight, then poke it in and see if it helps.
Keep using the plunger..
Get yourself a plumbers snake. I think Home Depot might even rent the powered version. If you want to save your money though you could alway put on a big rubber glove and try to break up the clog with your hand.
I usually just let the toilet fill 3/4 with water, then let the relentless plunging begin. Plunge HARD! :chuckle
i,ll have to try the wire hanger tomorrow morning... I give up on the plunger.. This shit is making me want to vomit (pun intended lol)..
oh.... my god. Did you really just post this on a car forum?!

You don't need a drill for a closet auger. All the ones I've used are hand cranked. Look like this:

Your doing it wrong...plunge it.
Word of advice: You might waste a little more water, but a courtesy flush goes a LONG way to not having your toilet clogged.

I had this problem about a month ago. It took me 3 trips to Wal-Mart and 5 plungers to get it "fixed".
This plunger saved the day, it was $15 from Wal-Mart. It works like magic.

lol Burner u seem to be an expert
Get the rubber gloves out and scoop it out into a bag/bucket.
Be brave and flush with lid open as mentioned above and/or have the super plunger pictured above.
(Geez, never thought I'd be giving this type of advice)
It's not something I'm particularly proud of...Quote:
