Don't Use Drain Snake in Toilet. Best Way to Unclog Toilet Bowl

[@ThomasDove-c7f]

Hey Friend I watched this video almost to the end before I realized it was you!!! I recognized the voice and sure enough it was you Chuck, the guy who taught me how to create a natural pond. Thanks again for being there and helping guys like me that are on a budget and try to do all of my own home repairs.

[@michaelknapp8961]

I’m a maintenance guy at an apartment complex and pulling the toilet is the absolute last thing we would do with a clogged toilet. The first thing we’d do is use the plunger. Then we’d use the auger. 99% if the time the auger will get it out. Do we ever pull a toilet? Yes absolutely but most of the time it’s done without pulling the whole toilet.

[@justicejane2429]

I'm a single parent and new homeowner. Thank you for your tutorial it helped me tremendously!!!

[@Joyames]

Your presentation is so great! You voice belongs on a radio, it’s nice and calming!

[@HialeahMayor]

I spent two hours looking at every video on the internet , you made me feel like I was in a wood shop class. Awesome video. You got some great talent!

[@francesrubis5220]

I agree your calm tones and cheerful voice make the task less stressful. Thank you Chuck for the effort that went into this public information and instructional video. I feel empowered to get it done with confidence. It happens way too often at my house.

[@craig00]

3 years later and this is still helping! I just did it and pulled out all the stuff that shouldn't be there! Saved us hundreds of dollars

[@slkais329]

Great argument for always keeping the toilet lid closed between uses. Makes the chances of accidentally dropping small items in that'll plug up the works far less likely.

[@NMW80]

Yep and also don’t be like me and have sink holes open with no protection plug for drainage. Those metal or plastic sink plugs with the holes in them work great to stop things going down the sink. My laundry sink didn’t come with one built in and I think a spring from the Tap fell down my sink and it’s been the worst block I have had ever cos I know it’s not just loo roll etc.

[@flagmichael]

@@NMW80 We had a blockage in the line between the laundry and the kitchen. I tried a cheapo snake from Harbor Freight but it didn't reach the clog. Then I got some caustic drain cleaner and still no good. Finally a beefier and longer snake from the hardware store broke it free. Another customer I met at the store enlightened my why the drain cleaner was useless - instead of a greasy blob it was lint and dog hair and sand from clothes that formed the blockage.

[@robert-h2x]

i alwyas say this especially with 3 of our homes toilets have shelving above it

[@lmiller1413]

My dad would get mad at my mom is she laid anything on top of the lid. He said he was always repairing toilets from things falling in that were sitting on top of the lid.

[@tube4625]

the auger worked like a charm. starting out the auger barely went in a foot or so. kept on turning it for about 3 minutes; started to see some dissolved paper. kept on turning and that auger went in a little more. here I started shoving the auger in and out to attack the blockage and then spin some more and the auger went all the way in the whole 3 feet. total 6-7 minutes. you might feel like giving up after 3 minutes if nothing happens; keep going don't give up cause you have the right tool.😀😀😀😀

[@michaelbove3066]

Your a wonderful person. Thanks for showing me how to protect my home.

[@lankney79]

Thank you for this. We have 6 people in our house and I'm the honorary plumber. Toilet was backed up and I couldn't get the snake to go, but I followed your aggressive approach to the augger and it worked. Lol.

[@ani8367]

Can’t thank you enough for this video! I had to remove the whole toilet before it worked again. It was a hassle, but saved me hundreds of dollars in plumbing fees and gave me a boost of confidence that I can fix things myself!

[@KamakNeApiMalimawata]

So true, I didn't know there were nuts to detach the commode until I watch this video.

[@chipwilliams6236]

[@Index-o1234]

This by far one of the Best Home repair video's you can find...It so simple and yet those not in the know will only think to use a plunger or chemicals to solve their slow drain problem.

[@cyndycrogan4874]

I'm a GC and even though I've been in the trades for decades there's always tips to share and more to learn. Been watching tons of Apple Drains teach-ins on storm drainage systems and they're so informative. Chuck has the best attitude, he's smart and humble. Another Pro tip from Chuck-Perfect!

[@aredditor4272]

I work on a building with 180 toilets, but I've also always done tradeswork on my days off. There are some brands of toilet that are designed in such a way as to make the auger cable turn around within the toilet. One I remember as American Standard model "Plebe". I could add a lot more, but won't in an old thread.

[@chrismasciana874]

On behalf of me and my family, thank you so much for this video. We were really banging our heads because out of nowhere our toilet wasn’t flushing. Thanks to you I built the courage and lift that toilet up. Found a couple of toys and some sunglasses. Works great now thank you again sincerely for teaching me to be a do it yourself plumber.

[@PneumaNoose]

This guy is so positive and easy going. I wouldn’t wanna learn how to take apart my toilet from anyone else lol

[@joetomalee3315]

This dude looks and sounds a bit like Jeff Daniels from Dumb and Dumber. I couldn’t stop laughing thinking about the infamous toilet scene. The guy has won two Emmy awards but is best remembered as the guy with explosive diarrhea from a 25 year old movie. Laughs!

I remember him best from when he was in 'Something Wild' :)

Absolutely the best and most helpful instructional video. Thank you for being thorough and including all possibilities. I know your demo took alot of time and effort and for those of us that need your help its very appreciated. Wish all instructional videos were this well thought out.

[@Red_Queens_Jubilee_Club]

Very informative. My husband used to take care of all of our plumbing needs. I used to say I was his journeyman. I guess he learned his skills in the US Navy; although he was supposed to be working on the radar 🤔. Anyway I learned by helping him. He died a couple years ago so I've promoted myself to chief cook and toilet plunger. Problem is I can't find the plunger 😅

[@ed1pk]

Sorry to hear! I'm sure he's watching from above smiling at how you've taken your new duties on with such a great attitude. :)

[@blazee3895]

@Mary Guy ❤️

[@gregre052]

You have me a bit worried. We had a rather large clog. Got the shower drain with minimal plunging, the hand wash bowl wax easy. But the shower drain kept hiding. Eventually we decided there must be multiple routes. I didnt want to plunge where the shower drain went. That and hot water made something loosen up. Wouldn't be a rich plumber i think I did it 3 times and i think something to soften would have been better. Creepy going into the shower afterwards, despite repetitive cleaning but by the end i think there is a free flow.

[@serpentines6356]

I think you mean -- "plungerer"...You don't want to be the toilet plunger yourself! 😅

[@bighope1]

EXCELLENT tutorial. Tried each step (after returning the ill advised snake) ended up taking the toilet off it's base. A TOOTHBRUSH in the same location as the toy!!! How did it get that far down!!! Thanks I was able to return a $100 toilet and a $30 plumber's snake.

[@sarahrigdon6334]

Thank you!! This video just saved me a call to the plumber. It was so simple to remove and replace and your video gave me the confidence to do it!

[@maureenobrien8081]

Hey! Thanks so much for this video! The strangest thing we had to pull out of a toilet was a stick (in its plastic container) of deodorant! Maybe most people know this next trick. I don't keep anything sitting on the lid of my toilet. If I flush and the water starts to rise too much, I yank that lid off and push the flapper over its hole. No more water enters the bowl, and there's no overflow mess.

[@gncarnes]

@maureen o'brien Just thought about this maneuver early this morning. Thanks for the confirmation!

[@hotroddreams3130]

I learned your push the flapper down trick 30 years ago from a plumber and I have never overflowed a clogged up toilet since.

[@anitonemamea6674]

Great demo Chuck. The worst situation I've dealt with was too much toilet paper and the Auger took care of it. I tell my youngins to courtesy flush and don't let it pile up, my water bill might a little expensive but I won't have to call the plumber...lol

[@NMW80]

Exactly. The stupid loo I have at home won’t flush properly unless you stand there and hold the button down which is annoying but so many times ppl just press it once and walk away and that doesn’t flush good enough. From now on I am legit going to pour buckets of warm soapy water down the loo every few days to give the pipes a good clean cos of my stupid loo just doesn’t flush good enough. Even when ya hold the button down it just won’t flush very well. It’s something the government done to conserve water but it’s just ridiculous and it’s unhygienic to have them buttons on our toilets 🚽

[@v1-vr-rotatev2-vy_vx31]

In Middle School we just put cherry bombs down those toilets.

[@robertshorthill6836]

We got a better toilet after we got sick of plunging every 2 or 3 weeks. American Standards claim to be able to flush 10 golf balls on a single flush. I don't shit golf balls, so that is good enough for me and kids and 2 other adults.

[@wilburosgoodwormsley]

The worst one ive ever dealt with was the toilet was full of poop i had to reach in from the bottom with a gloved hand to pull it out

I enjoyed your video. This is how DIYers learn from others. I had this problem once. I used my handy-dandy endoscope to 'see' what the problem was. In a few seconds, I saw the problem. Knowing what was causing the problem, it was easy to correct it. This simple device allows me to play 'Superman' and see through walls.

[@southernbelle4266]

I'm far from a plumber!! I tried everything....plunger, hot water and dish soap, running a hose pipe down the toilet....to no avail. It would have never occurred to me to take the toilet outside and flip it over outside. The only additional thing I did was take the tank off before carrying outside because I wasn't strong enough to carry it fully assembled. I found an object at the very bottom. I couldn't wait to get the toilet put back together and in place to see if it was gonna work. I flushed... It was like angels singing when I heard the sound of a full flush and everything swirled and went down properly. I can take the new $200 toilet back to Lowes. Thank you for sharing this video!!!

[@dannagordon9618]

Thank you SO much for your hard work in showing us this video. I am old, female, and live alone so I can't do the last trial! And I have a plumber coming today to set my hot water heater that he didn't set high enough last time he was here, But...I am NOT telling him I have a stopped up toilet and pay him another $109 for a visit!!! My little toilet stops up too often and I usually know how to fix it, after calling him out here every month the first several years of living in this old house (toilet is not old though, just a small average one, but It gets clogged too often, maybe every two months now. Bought an accordian type plunger and that usually solves it, but I have to keep diluting the "MESS" for several days to clean up the "mess" as best I can before using plunger!!! Too nasty for me and it is from my own "MESS"!!!!! I'm that gaggy!!! Yuck!!! So, I just keep pouring hot hot water in for days to let it kinda clear itself out a bit!!! I keep candles burning in there, too!!! Thank goodness I have 2 toilets in the house!!! And just saw a tip to use the hot hot water along with lots of dish soap. Hope this helps! And I pour gallons of CLorox Bleach in there too!!! Wish me luck, AGAIN! But, thank you soooo much. I learned lots! You are so sweet!!!

[@gilbatzri]

Look at an air plunger, we have a balky toilet and that is what I decided on now that the accordion has finally given up the ghost. I have decided on one that uses C02 cartridges which are about 45 cents each, so that my wife doesn't have to struggle with pumping up the air reservoir, and the C02 device looks like a wand and is not bathroom obtrusive behind the toilet. I haven't bought it just yet, but it's called a sureplunge and from my research it is the one to go with.

[@3markaw]

Why are you pouring "gallons" of Clorox down the drain ? It's not doing anything functional , just wasting your time and money. Clorox is for killing germs outside and on the surface of the commode.

[@jessejames3360]

Very Bad idea to add Clorox bleach. The bleach reacts with the ammonia in urine creating chloramine gas which can damage your throat, lungs & can be fatal depending on how much is inhaled. Also the bleach kills the bacteria in the septic tank so solids will not break down & your system can back up leading to expensive repairs.

[@ddmck1972]

[@yendorofny]

Back In the 90's I pulled out a Nintendo cartridge, that someone had broke up and tried flushing... Seriously! LOL

[@glamdolly30]

Outside toilets were the norm in the UK until the 1980s. My Dad grew up in a tiny terraced house in a mining village in South Wales during the 'thirties, with no bathroom and only an outside toilet. Imagine having to go out there during the harsh winters! And his dad, a coal miner, would come home from work literally black and my gran would heat buckets of water on the kitchen hearth (a real fire), and fill a tin bath for him to have an all-over wash in the small room they called the parlour (their living room /lounge, and the only warm room in the house in those pre central heating days). It's a cliche I know, but kids really don't know their born today - nor do many adults!

[@pjhj3464]

Hi Chuck. I moved to a new place and found an issue with one of my toilets. I found your video and followed your instructions. I pulled a fork out of the toilet at the flange. Who in the heck flushed a fork?? Anyway, thanks to your video, I saved money on a plumber. Keep up the great work!

[@Pipcudi4]

Great way to use the plunger, I’ve never put an emphasis on the upward motion before. One of our toilets was clogged for a week. I tried plunging a few times with no results. After several days of having a clogged toilet, and thinking an auger is the next step, I tried plunging again but they way you recommended and after several plunges, success. Thanks for the tip!! Will definitely use that method in the future.

[@dontGMOwithme]

Instead of a long deep stroke of the plunger, I do the following: Fill up the bowl half full. Insert the plunger and push once to expel the air. Then I go into high frequency but shallow stroke mode. This doesn’t splash so much and generally gets most clogs on their way. (I’ve used hot wat and dawn at times as well)

[@MegaMoto85]

Thanks for the help buddy, i was minutes from calling a plumber - after watching your video i decided to take matters into my own hands, i unscrewed the toilet and lifted it, and vòila i found a fork! Removed the fork and now my toilet is back to normal, thank you!!

[@freddygill3425]

Great video. By showing us how to just remove the toilet, even though I haven't done it very often, I see that it's just not really that difficult. It takes a bit of time and is a bit messy, but you can really see what's going on in that drain. Encouragement is what I needed, and what your video gives. Thank you for such a clear presentation.

So my daughters toilet was extremely clogged and by looking at it i think it hadnt been flushed in at least a month. She was afraid to tell me. So we followed everything in the video and the 3 foot auger was only 13 bucks at lowes and we did it and she learned something new. Thank you very much!

[@garyh4458]

That outdoor toilet is pretty cool. Cleans itself when it rains and you don't have to worry about missing your aim when it is dark. I am going to install one by my shed.

[@65csx83]

When I snake the toilet, I feed the cable through a piece of auto heater hose to keep from scratching the porcelain. I don't add water to the bowl when it is clogged. If I need to empty the tank I bail it with a cup and a bucket. To test that the clog is cleared, I don't risk an overflow by flushing the toilet. I pour a bucket of water into the bowl: a little at first, and more if it is clear.
