Question: I've had my share of clogged toilets before but..this is the worst. I've used a plunger, a plumbers snake (2-3 times, even), and probably three bottles of various foamers, anti-cloggers, gels, whatever (drano, liquid plumr, etc)....None of this stuff is working! (following directions to a T). I'm pretty much at wits end with this. I cannot get this toilet unclogged. Am I at a point where a plumber is going to have to go in and run some super long snake into the pipes..or even turn off the water and open up the pipes or something? Its not like i've been flushing steel wool down the toilet. Just the usual stuff Thoughts, ideas, etc? flames?
Answer: Did you use a toilet snake? That is one that is much beefier than an ordinary snake and has a bend in the handle to get it at the proper angle for insertion. The handle is a straight tube and is about 4 feet long. The wire of the snake is maybe 4 times the thickness of a regular drain snake. My problem was that my 3 year old flushed a half roll of toilet paper! I got one at Home Depot for about $12, if memory serves.
