If your toilet is clogged, here are some troubleshooting steps to help you clear the blockage:
1. Stop Flushing:
- Avoid flushing again, as this can cause overflow. If the bowl is full, wait for the water level to lower before proceeding.
2. Use a Plunger:
- Select the Right Plunger: Use a flange plunger, which is more effective for toilets.
- Position the Plunger: Place it over the drain hole, ensuring a good seal.
- Pump Up and Down: Push down and pull up rapidly to create suction. Repeat this several times before checking if the clog clears.
3. Add Hot Water:
- If plunging doesn’t work, try pouring hot (not boiling) water into the bowl from waist height. This can help dissolve or loosen the clog.
