After the plunger alone did very little to unclog my toilet, I tried method 3 in this video using Dawn Ultra and hot tap water. It took only three plunges after letting it sit for no more than a couple minutes before the clog was cleared. Thanks so much for the video!

My toilet had been clogged and for a number of days beforehand I noticed the flush was getting weaker, and weaker and water was filling up a bit higher than normal during this time. I suspected that there was a small clog or some type of buildup in the drain. I decided to use the dish soap and hot water route to clear things up all the way down. Took a few tries but the hot water and dish soap cleared everything up very nicely, now the toilet is flushing great again. I recommend everyone try this instead of jumping to the plunger right away, instead of boiling water I'd use hot water from the tap instead as boiled water can damage the toilet itself as well as the pipes.

Good info! Using the float is easier and saves the supply line valve, especially if it is old and hasn't been used for some time. It can start to drip after you turn it back on.

One of the best methods to unclog a toilet is to use a “closet auger” which looks like the letter “J” that has a plastic sleeve on the “J” end to protect the toilet bowl from being scratched. Insert the closet auger into the bottom of the bowl opening, then slowly turn the handle and slowly extend the spring auger deeper into the bowl to break up the clog. Works every time. Sometimes using a plunger will actually compact the clog even further. The closet auger is available at any bid box store or hardware store.

If it’s clogged, and you’re scared it’s going to overflow: best method is squeeze several squeezes of dish soap (any kind) and let it sit for about 30 min. No hot water needed. Then flush. Works every time. True story: my grown kid’s toilet was clogged for 2 weeks. Don’t ask why they let it go that long. I walked in with dish soap and fixed it in minutes. Also: I’ve put new American Standard toilets in all my last 4 houses. They’re the ones that flush 25 golf balls. (In those commercials)They almost never clog. They pretty much render a plunger almost unnecessary.

Before I watched this video, I did try the Dawn dish soap trick, using a generous amount and ended up with tons and tons of bubbles. I also tried two different good plungers. I now have a gallon of Green Gobbler in the bowl. It has been sitting there for five days. I have been scared to try flushing again, because I didn’t want that stuff going all over the floor if it overflows. But, now that I’ve watched your video, I know how to prevent that. Thank you. Now, I have to get up my courage.

I always keep a 2L pail near the toilet and, if I'm a bit suspicious the contents of the bowl are not going to flush easily, I don't flush the toilet at all. Instead, I fill up the pail and pour the water directly into the bowl so that it goes down the front part of the bowl and under the contents of whatever is in the bowl. This has worked on the first try every time I have used it except for one time and, on that one, it went on the second try. Using this method controls how much water is going into the bowl which means no fear of overflow like a flush where the water quickly rises and then slowly creeps towards the lip on the last part of the tank refill, so you are more in control of the situation. I have suggested it to friends and family to keep that pail visible so that people who come to your house don't end up in an embarrassing situation. BTW, I don't necessarily use hot water; however, that may actually work better.

Is there any risk that pouring hot water into the bowl could melt or compromise the wax ring?
@dynamicworlds1
@dynamicworlds1 2 года назад
You also have to take into account how much the water is going to cool by mixing with the water in the bowl and coming in contact with the ceramic of the bowl and trap before it gets there. Even without a clog slowing it down, it's probably somewhere around body temp (if that) before it reaches a joint and not going to be in contact long. Any sealing material capable of handling a hot summer day shouldn't have a problem with what it ends up exposed to even if it couldn't handle boiling temperatures.

Pro Tip: If you live in a cold climate and it's winter, you want to be careful pouring hot water into the bowl. If the bowl is really cold and the water is too hot and you can crack the bowl. And then you got a really big problem. Good luck...and may the odds be ever in your favor!

@GeorgeVCohea-dw7ou
@GeorgeVCohea-dw7ou 2 года назад
Even in a warm climate, one most definitely does not want to melt the wax ring! 140° is probably cutting this a bit close. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FNnP84tTSFY.html I, personally, would never recommend the hot water method. Too many people will try to overcompensate and make matters worse, if it goes wrong. The dish soap method is probably best, one cannot really detrimentally overdo it either. Even utilising Dawn, it would take quite a bit to become expensive. Buying a decent plunger is not expensive though, and if you have a toilet, you should have one, Pritzker excluded!

Rather than using the toilet tank to flush the toilet, I’ve been using a 3 gallon bucket to flush the toilet and I fill from the bathtub. The toilet tank developed a crack and I wasn’t about to replace the tank with one of these 1.6 gallon water saver “tiny tanks”. I found one of the advantages of using a bucket to flush the toilet is that the chances of an overflowing toilet are very slim. When I do a pee, I don’t need much more than 1/2 gallon to flush the toilet.

I stayed in a hotel in China for an extended time and noticed that the toilet filled from the hot pipe to the hand basin. When you washed your hands after using the toilet the cold water in the pipe had already gone in to refilling the toilet. If the toilet had a block you could just get the water to the hand basin hot and then flush the toilet a couple of times and it was flushing with hot water. Never had a problem with the bowl cracking.
@dynamicworlds1

That sounds extremely unlikely, even with boiling water, especially if there's water in the tank (and tripply unlikely if you're actually pouring it do get as much of that hot water into the drain as possible and not just pouring it on the side). We're talking about a bowl designed to hold a lot of water (which is heavy) while possibly several hundred pounds of human squirms in discomfort on top of the rim with mechanical tolerances such that it will work for decades if not centuries without failure of any kind (at least in the bowl itself). I can't say I've tested that, but it sounds like an urban legend and not something that could happen (at least not accidentally). Maybe if you dumped a 5+ gallon stockpot of boiling water all at once into a freezing cold empty toilet bowl you could shatter it, but at that point the boiling water splashing back on you is probably a bigger concern than the bowl and you're _trying_ to shatter the bowl. I can't imagine any rate a normal person who doesn't want boiling-hot water and toilet water splashed on themselves would ever pour hot water into a toilet would ever shatter it under normal conditions.

Will the hot water crack the bowl I've seen it happen

Quickly dumping a bucket of warm or even cold water works too. You really don't need the soap. Try to dump it at least two feet above the bowl. The higher the better. Usually works within three attempts. Personally done it many times.

This is what I do often. I use the water i caught while showering and pour it from high (expect splash back). Additionally, aim for the drain part! However, if water alone doesn't work, I go for a plunger!

When do I turn the water back on?!?!? Before or after dumping hot water???

I love how you can call the cops with the phone jack in case your toilet clogs. Woohoo

I work with marine oil pollution incident scenarios, so I have to throw in my opinion on this. Keep in mind, dish detergent is a dispersant, and illegal in almost every state if an oil is involved.

It's a toilet, and the water goes to the same place as the water from the kitchen sink. I am more than willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. Please clarify your intent! Oil and especially grease should never be put down a sewage drain or in a toilet, regardless of marine implications. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FNnP84tTSFY.html Removing and clearing solidified grease from P-traps is never fun.

The soap worked immediately. Now I'm going to use some boiled water to clear it completely out.
