Plugged toilet
The most common reason for a toilet to plug is too much paper being used, mixed with a large bowel movement. Usually, a toilet auger (toilet snake) will punch through and clear it up. The brand of toilet paper you use DOES make a difference. Without naming names, 3 ply paper is given the nickname “the toilet plugger.” If an object has gone down the toilet, removing the toilet is the next step. If it is a toy in the toilet, using the auger from the bottom to push it back out the top works with a high success rate. If the blockage is under the floor, now a cable can be used to snake it out with the toilet off.
Size of cable to be used: Toilet auger
Size of cable to be used beyond toilet: ½” or 11/16”
