If you are have a clogged or blocked toilet, there are some things you can try that may unclog your toilet. If you are interested in unclogging / unblocking your toilet, please continue reading. There are two main things you can try to use:

• Pull out the toilet plunger
• Use a snake

Toilet Plunger

If your toilet is partially clogged or fully clogged, the best starting point is to always use the plunger first. You will be able to determine if you have a partial or fully clogged toilet based off of how much water fills up in the bowl of your toilet. If the water in your toilet is overflowing, you most likely have a fully clogged toilet, and if the water stays relatively high but does not flow over, you most likely have a partially clogged toilet. If you are unsure how to properly use a toilet plunger, this may not be the best option for you, but if you know how to use one, this is the best option to try and unclog your toilet.

Using The Snake

After using a toilet plunger, if your toilet is still clogged or blocked, try to use the snake. The snake is a tool that you can buy in any hardware store and it is a long wire coil with a metal corkscrew like object at the end. You stick the snake down your toilet while turning the wire coil so that the corkscrew at the end spins and breaks apart the clog and whatever items are clogging your toilet get attached to the wire and you are able to pull them out.
