Blocked toilet?

One shot is supposed to be good, but be very careful with it!

If that fails you could try one of these as this worked for me. It took a while, but eventually a 4ft long 'thing' was removed and the toilet flushed again.

Thanks looks excellent and like it could actually do the job, bookmarked.

Flush the toilet and allow the bowl to fill up with fresh water and put a black bin bag over the end of a mop and use that as a plunger.

Job's a good'un!

Edit: One of the less gruesome videos:

Looks like another council trying to save call out fees :p
but ill bookmark it if anything, looks no different from a plunger effect but cheaper.

Get two buckets, fill both with hot water. Launch first one down and wait to clear then launch 2nd down. Repeat as needed.

Done the same myself when but when my flush broke, filled a bucket full and threw it at full speed down the toilet it performed an emergency flush, I guess its similar to the plunger or vacuum effect ie forcing everything to move down the pipe and system.

And yes like above post, sometimes you do sadly have to wear a glove and plastic bags and shove your hand right up there and unclog whatever it is.
 
Someone clogged the bog in my house last night. I had to get a rubber glove on and dislodge a stubborn poo. The joys of being a grown up. No idea which of the three ladies in my house was responsible!

Hope you posted it through your letterbox.
 
Well, you have got to be s****** me! Bloke turned up - saw the flexible pipe and said "does everything else drain?" "yes" "won't be drains then - flexi pipe. They have ridges on which stops things. easy to fit but not the best" 2 mins with a plunger - works fine now! WTF!!! lol

I can't believe you called a plumber without plunging the bog, you could have probably cleared it with a rubber glove and your hand!

Couldn't fit my hand down or I would. But was wary about sticking hand anywhere near after sticking sulphuric acid down... I've never messed around with toilets.

Nobody had a plunger to use and I wasn't going to spend more money on something which might not work.

Also he was free as house insurance....

You've got a mop though, would have done exactly the same thing and you could have had this sorted days ago :p
 
Nothing is free on house insurance, they will have made a note don't worry about that :)

PS buy a plunger!

I know to buy a plunger now! Lol

And because I have emergency home care or something it does not go on my record as a claim. I took out insurance with Admiral because my cars are insured through them and got it cheap. Very efficient.

Has the OP recently celebrated Thanksgiving? :D

Lol not yet.... Building up to it.
