One of the problems that most people experience is having a clogged toilet as a plumbing problem.  Sometimes it is easy and a plunger will clear it.Then some times it will be needed that a plumber be the one to fix it.  But for most people I am going to share a few tips that will hopefully fix it so you won’t need a plumber.

Now these are some tricks I have picked up running my Temecula plumber business.But these are steps that most homeowners will be able to do.It doesn’t necessitate the use of expensive equipment.You aren’t required to be expert in plumbing to know how to fix it.Just be able to follow the directions and you should be able to fix it.

First thing you want to try is a plunger.  Everyone has a plunger and most clogged toilets can be freed from it.The plungers that are really effective will have fold out cup.  That cup fits into the toilet trap.That is what causes the good suction.  All you then have to do is use and even back and forth motion.  This should clear the toilet.

Next after the plunger is using a toilet auger.  What it looks like is a J shaped tube and cable.A little bit like what you have in a drain snake.  It is one of my most used tools for my Murrieta plumber service.  They can be purchased at most hardware stores.  What you do is insert the end of the auger into the toilet.Then you give the handle a push forward and then start cranking it clockwise.This will dislodge any debris and have the toilet cleared.

These two tools should do the trick.But if it happens not to work you will have to call a good plumber anyways to come out.  It is more expensive then doing it yourself. But when you are unable to do it yourself, it is worth it to get it fixed.  Because having a clogged toilet in the house is no fun.  Plus it creates a lot of problems.
