Toilets get clogged very often and clearing a blockage is not so difficult. One can perform the job yourself by using the right kind of tools. Listed here are some tools and their usage starting form the most simple and progressing towards complex ones used for difficult stoppages.
A plunger
The easiest and simplest tool used to unblock a toilet is a plunger. However the key is to know how to use this tool correctly because if used correctly, it can clear up most of the stoppages. Although using a plunger may appear to be self-explanatory it is possible to use it incorrectly. To clean the drain, plunge the toilet several times allowing time in between plunging so that the clog can move down the line.
An Auger
When a plunger cannot do the job, try using an auger. The wire in the auger is inserted into the toilet drain with the help of a hand crank. The blockage gets cleared up with the sturdy head of the cable. When used correctly a toilet auger can clear a clog without scratching the toilet bowl.
