Learn the "Secret Plumber's Trick" to Unclog a Toilet

You don’t have to admit it, but I bet ALL of us have been in a “situation” at some point that involved a clogged toilet, and probably a lot of embarrassment. Especially if it was somebody else’s toilet! Yikes!
Well, I am here to give you at least a little peace of mind in this area. I’m going tell you the secret to getting yourself out of a “messy” situation when a plunger isn’t at hand and you’re in crisis.
I picked up this simple 3-step method to unclog a toilet from a plumber who visited our house years ago. It’s ideal for emergencies, since it calls on supplies that are ubiquitous in most bathrooms. (And you don’t even need a plunger to do it!)
NOTE: THE TOILET FLAPPER IS THE RUBBER SEAL ON A CHAIN INSIDE THE TOILET TANK THAT ALLOWS THE WATER TO FLOW FROM THE TANK INTO THE TOILET BOWL. PRESSING IT CLOSED WILL IMMEDIATELY STOP THE WATER LEVEL FROM RISING AND POTENTIALLY OVERFLOWING.
You can also shut off the water supply to the toilet as an added safety measure. Look for a handle behind the toilet and close to the floor, and turn it clockwise to shut off the water.

This video is seven years old, but it helped me today. I’ve been plunging for a while with no success, so I came on KZbin to see what suggestions are there and I found this video. Instead of counting three seconds while I squirted out the Dawn dish liquid, I unscrewed the top of the Dawn bottle and just let three big globs fall out into the toilet bowl. And then I went and filled up two big jugs of hot water from the tap. By the time I had finished dumping in the first jug of hot water, the clog had disappeared. So, thank you. Much appreciated!

Instead of getting your hand wet, just reach under the tank and close the water valve. This also shuts water off for the rim flush. I have used the dishwashing liquid trick many times. Sometimes it takes a lot more than 15 minutes for it to work.

[@SaintAliaOfTheKnife]

Unfortunately not everyone has a shut off valve, & even when there is one, they're not all in the same place. So rather than searching, the flapper option is good to know.

[@charlenebrowning7949]

How to flush out the body is easy. Always keep about 3 bottles of refrigerated water in your refrigerator. Always drink refrigerated water day and night. As you do the refrigerated water will melt your hard dried up solid waste inside you and come out easily. The refrigerated water acts like a laxative and melts your hard solid waste. You will never buy laxative's ever again!!! You will love the new you!!!! Always drink the coldest bottle first, and rotate your bottles. What ever amount of refrigerated water you pour into your glass drink it right away. It's the refrigeration that makes it work so well 😊.

Closing the flapper is good but there is also a tube that continues to fill the bowl as the tank fills, you will need to remove it from the overflow tube to stop it from filling the bowl as well. If you use water that is too hot you can crack the toilet.

[@AndruRomin]

skoronesa you are correct, I closed the flapper and it still started overflowing. Fortunately it stopped about two inches from the top. Phew!

You saved my life. I was trying different things from last few days. You’re idea helped a me lot.

[@oliveintheroom1336]

Oh my god-

[@rebelqueen26]

Ummmmmm what?!

[@star4reallb806]

BAHAHAHA

[@AlexiasShado]

The reason Dawn specifically works is that it breaks up the fats and oils within human solid waste. This makes perfect sense.

[@mylovesongs2429]

What about the solid waste of Fido and Fluffy?

[@tchatikobo]

This worked with the dish soap & hot water. Thanks.

I’m stuck in a “Along Came Polly” situation with my toilet

[@johnkimball5872]

I'm covered in shit and clogged my dates toilet please help

[@goldenhusky7005]

Thank you for this tip. Last weekend, I let a few high school girls use one of my restrooms 🚽 because one of them was kind enough to return one of my phones. As I was leaving my uber, my iPhone dropped on the pavement. Since they were so nice to return it, i asked them what i can do for them. They said Wawa is closed to public and all they need is some ice and use restroom. So I did what a grateful lady, wanted to return the favor. Long story short, I came back from a short trip to Atlantic city and toilet 🚽 wasn’t flushing. I was literally using the plunger for 2 hours at 15 minute intervals. And I went on You tube, found this channel, listened to your tips and voila. It flushed itself. OMG 😆 so grateful! I subscribed right away, to return the favor!

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

About the same amount of people say it works, or doesn't work. I haven't tried it get though.

[@LizGura]

Worked like a charm! Thank you!

[@Helio3204]

Thank you for this. Three or four buckets of very hot water plus a bit of dish detergent worked perfectly.

I woke up to my bathroom flooded before. I think my dog put a toy in the toilet bowl. Snake didn’t work, plunger didn’t work, but this definitely worked. Genius actually.

[@youlikebeans464]

Um I put paper towels down my toilet.... what do I do 0-0

[@user-nc3bj8rf9p]

Oop

[@ericclaeyborn8359]

I gave this advice to someone below... but here it is again... i've used a 25' snake auger that connects to a drill and took off the drain pipe under the kitchen sink. It was easier than taking off the toilet and making a big mess. My kitchen sink drain actually connects to the main line that's under the toilet. It took less than ten minutes to clear the clog. Do this if the soap and warm water method doesn't work.
