Another trick is adding HOT water to the plunging process. We recently had a late night toilet blockage (fecal). After several failed attempts we knew our old small cup plunger just could not cut it. So I returned to a trick my Daddy used to use. He'd pour pots of HOT water into the bowl gradually. The hot water would softens the fecal matter, making it easier to push it down. [NOTE: We laid down some plastic garbage bags and old towels just in case there was overflow or splashing. Use caution when transporting very HOT water from kitchen to bathroom. And keep the kids and pets out of the way.] Step 1: I pushed the flapper down to stop the tank from filling the bowl (as your video also shows). Step 2: I let the the water drain out of the bowl, and slowly poured about a quart of very hot water into the bowl. I let it sit @ 20 min and when the water had drained out the bowl by about 75%, I repeated this Hot water application 4-5 time. Each second time after the water had sat awhile , I'd again use the plunger. I knew it was starting to working bc the hot water was getting darker (which meant the fecal was softening and yes there were now floaties after plunging). Finally, applying the plunger the 5th time -- down it all went! I definitely plan on buying one of the neck toilet plungers you suggested. PS., I'm a woman, and thanks to the many lessons of my handyman father, and watching videos like yours -- I'm waaay more capable doing house repairs than my husband. He's a fabulous guy, but I didn't marry him for his handyman skills. Great video, TY!
Do you know , I know nothing about plumbing except for the fact that my toilet is currently blocked , but you Sir are a joy to watch and make the subject interesting. THANK YOU
Nursing home maintenance here, love my kinetic ram, but I've learned the hard way to use my closet auger first due to physical blockages. Cell phones, bedside urinal caps etc. Also if you're using it to do a lavatory sink make sure to stop up your overflow before using the ram.
I also used to do nursing home maintenance years ago, they only gave us a small plunger and I had to fit a broom handle to the end of it to stand back far enough so the toilet water wouldn't splash all over my legs. I wish the company had given us proper tools back then, we had no training either, and we'd get yelled at if we couldn't fix the problem and had to call real plumbers.
I just had a clog yesterday in my toilet and going crazy with a plunger worked but I definitely want to invest in those air products as that would make it much easier to unclog for the future. Thanks for this great video
Never knew the kinetic water ram existed. Definitely going to invest in one of these. I was hoping the m12 Air Snake would make an appearance to show its purpose.
I had a partial toilet blockage from napkins. I tried a plunger, which didn't work. I bought an drain jet contraption similar to the last one in this video on Amazon for $39. I tried it three times and couldn't get it to work, so I tried a drill-powerrd toilet auger I bought at Harbor Freight for $15, but couldn't get it to go around the second bend in the toilet no matter what I did. Then I tried Green Gobbler toilet powder and which didn't work $20. Then I tried a different plunger and really went to town with it. That helped some, but there was still a partial blockage. Lastly, I tried that drain jet I bought on Amazon again, and pumped it up all the way. After three more tries, it finally cleared the blockage. I think I just didn't shove it into the toilet far enough and didn't pump it up enough the first time I tried it. I'm just glad I didn't have to spend $300+ on a plumber.
I am a custodian at a manufacturing plant. I have used plungers to unclog the toilets. It's not really that hard, but you have to be willing to do it. Not just complain about it. We have a few of the plungers Roger likes, but mostly we just have the plastic ones with the ridges.
When you were showing the plungers I kept nodding my head. My mother's plunger was round and probably over 20 years old! 😮 i threw it away and bought the Exact one you recommended. MUCH better!
Great demonstration Roger!!..I just carry a couple extending toilet augers on my truck ,But I have to be careful because the cable can scratch the porcelain and that's bad!.Had to use acid drain cleaner to get scratches off😳 Luckily it worked out! Had to hold my breath while I was using it!..... Great channel you have here👍
I am a plumber and I am in here to let everyone know, these are good tricks but they don't work everytime, so it's not guaranteed. Sometimes a toy or a cap a cell phone or something got in there and the toilet needs to be pulled and turned upside down and even augered through the bottom. Sometimes you can see it from the bottom and pull the object out. The auger usually does not go that far down either, many times the auger misses the toilet outlet and goes into the little cavern just beyond the outlet. Sometimes, I use a powerful wetvac. Good tricks for sure but usually when the homeowner tried everything they could do from the top... Call the plumber!
I just went through this yesterday !! If it happens again, I might change out the toilet, maybe the toilet has been getting a build-up of crud over the years, was put in when house was built, over 20 years ago!
I don't have one of those things, yet. I have a good plunger &have gotten toilet unplugged with baking soda and vinegar, or dish detergent & hot water. After 3 days of experimenting, I now only have baking soda & apple cider vinegar left. I know what got stuck in there, a thin 'pad.' Is it worth getting an augur? It drains, but very slowly. I don't see a cap on my outflow in the tank. I'm leaving the bit of water, detergent, baking soda & apple cider vinegar in for the night. Maybe pour another bucket of hot water in the morning. Any other suggestions for getting in the pipe if you don't have an air gun or auger?
Nice video! I've seen so much confusion over force cup and half cup plungers. But once you know: one plunger pushes water and the other pulls water, it changes the way you actually do the plunging motions. Don't get me wrong sometimes an auger is absolutely needed, but you'd be surprised what you can unclog when you fully understand the plunger. Edit: lol wtf!?! That "kinetic water ram" would get feces all over the plumber!! Would not use that tool!!
hello Roger. First, thanks for all the content you share. I've been learning a lot from you and using in my home for small fixes. If you allow me, I have a question and ask for guidance: I had a very bad clog in my ensuite's toilet 2 days ago that I was able to eliminate only after removing the toilet, putting Green Gobbler, letting it sit for overnight, and using a plunger A LOT directly in the hole under the toilet. Finally everything was back to normal, I was able to clean completely my bathroom that was a total mess since while the clog was there there was back up water into tub and shower. While working, I let some water standing on the ground and it showed as humidity outside the house, but now everything seems normal, except for one weird thing: now I am hearing a wind-like noise coming from the wall. The noise is more noticeable in the bedroom to what the bathroom is connected to. It's like if there was wind running in a pipe, or like a low engine running. This is the best I can describe it. Not sure if it could be related to the incident I had or it's something else and it's just a coincidence. Do you have any tip or guidance for me to troubleshoot it? I had already tuned electricity off, running water on all faucets/toilet/tube/shower in the bathroom for a while (thinking it could be air in the system), but nothing have worked so far. Any guidance would be very much appreciate. Again, you are fantastic, thanks in advance.
Roger, let me provide feedback on this: at the end of the day, the noise had nothing to do with my clog situation or even anything related to my plumbing system. It was a simple cat water fountain upstairs that was running out of water and then was making that noises and reverberating to the walls downstairs. Crazy, ridiculous, but true :-). Problem solved!
I don't have one of those things, yet. I have a good plunger &have gotten toilet unplugged with baking soda and vinegar, or dish detergent & hot water. After 3 days of experimenting, I now only have baking soda & apple cider vinegar left. I know what got stuck in there, a thin 'pad.' Is it worth getting an augur? It drains, but very slowly.

Well I guess we first have to ask ourselves if we even want to unclog the toilet. If I am at a friend's house, I just quietly sneak out, go home, and turn my phone off for the next 2 days.
I would think your friend would want to know the toilet is having a problem and handle it right away instead of you going home and turning off your phone for 2 days don't do that you're like one of the kids
@@RogerWakefield I actually went and got the “6ft” closet auger. I scratched up the bowl a bit but it’s older AND I’m an electrician…..so there’s that 🫢. Thanks again
Also when using the air ram, keep in mind any fixtures that may be close by and on the same line. I've seen someone blast in the toilet only to have the pressure blow out of the lavatory sink
Anytime my toilet clogs up it goes right out my the shower drain like a volcano from hell. I once had someone clog up my toilet pretty bad. One of my other friends tried to be helpful and notify me when the water came down. So I looked at him with a smirk and said "if you're so sure flush the toilet" He did and said it's draining now, to which I said "Now look into the shower" *angry bubbling and nasty stuff issued forth from the drain* I just smiled at him like one who's fate to clean the toilet is sealed.
@@NathrielIf your toilet is clogged, it won't be going to the shower, it would come out of the toilet. Your blockage would be further down the line, past the toilet and shower.
Funny that right after you uploaded this video, another youtuber I'm following posted another video related to this, but with another interesting unclogging tool. It's a Milwaukee power tool called "Airsnake", it has interesting attachments for various shapes and functions. You could check and try that one, it looks like you may like it!
Vacuum, not pressure is the key to 90% of clogs. Most clogs occur because too much stuff is trying to get through the same small hole all at the same time, pushing harder only sets the clog worse. Pulling suction temporarily reverses flow, thus allowing things to re-queue and move through orderly manner.
Hello Roger,I accidentally flushed a pumice stone down toilet,now toilet is slow an backs up,do you think it will dissolve eventually on its own? Or should I try one on these methods?
I had a complaint of a clogged toilet, unclogged the toilet and it wasn't draining how it should, after digging out the septic lids I found a large mass of tree roots clogging the septic inlet, removed the roots and a lot of black water came rushing out, advised customer to have the septic inlet excavated and repaired to avoid future problems
I’m partial to that yellow handle plunger you had. The only thing I’ve ever had did I couldn’t get out with the auger is a bar soap. Plastic toys sometimes won’t come out I’ve had to flip the toilet over and stick my torch up in there and gently heat it until it was pliable without cracking the porcelain. I’ve never used the air ram. Seems seems like a quick way to disaster. Let’s try that sucker at my house before I took it in to a customers.
The first time I tried one of those air rams on a sink, it blew to p trap out of it's joints. Sink was still slow after putting the p trap back on, used the rigid flex shaft and all was good.
this new apartment we moved into has a toilet that loves to clog, i’ll unclog it with the plunger but after using it some more times it will clog all over again? what seems to be causing this??
Oh my gosh I'm dealing with a terrible one right now. I've been working on this thing for 2 days. Luckily I have two other toilets it's actually at my mother and stepfather's house and they use that thick paper. I've been told by a plumber to use either Scott or angel face because they're thin and they dissolve very easily. So I don't have those problems at home. So I've tried three different plungers so far. About to try a different one after listening to your channel. I hope I don't have to call a plumber, but you never know. Clogged toilets are the worst. I changed a lot of dirty diapers in my time and I certainly don't want to stick my arm down and a bowl of poop soup.
I use a product called the Johnny Jolter ($29.95). It looks like a syringe on steroids. It has a rubber cone on the output perfect for jamming into the trap. I eventually had to glue the cone on because it kept coming off. Never had to go more than 3 times to clear the clog. It keeps the charge from diverting back up lift jet port.
Change the wifi password and tell your teenager they will get the new password when the toilet is unclogged and mess cleared up. Pop a beer and relax.... probably wont even finish the beer before job is done.
Okay. So what do I do, the water in the bowl is almost to the overflow level? I have tried everything to get it to clear and no luck, I lifted the back and pushed down the level and it’s just got higher. What do I do next? 😭
Take a cup and dip a litte bit of water out before using the plunger, that will help keep t from splashing over the edge, or use a closet auger, they don't make the water slosh around and often work very well. Home Depot has one for like 15.00
Roger Roger Roger….my 5 year old son…”log” is the size of a 16oz water bottle. It is so dense that it doesn’t bend…and when it does, it clog the toilet. The only way to unclog it…is I have to pick it out of the toilet.
My drunk friend clogged his toilet with an apple core and how would we unclog it? We can't see it and when I reached my hand in there I couldn't feel the core😱 How do we get the core out?
I'm in the Phoenix area. If you are 18 years old and can pass a drug test and you are a man of moral character I will hire you. I teach my guys on a daily basis about service, plumbing code and ethics.
Thanks, but toilet augers -or 'snakes', drive me crazy. No matter how I try, I can only get the snake to go in to a certain point and then it STOPS. I can crank that handle around and around and it still goes NOWHERE. Best solution, after trying hot water and dish soap: Buy a new wax ring, Drain and remove the toilet, clean out clog, place new wax ring over hole, reinstall toilet.
You helped me with every way possible with my toilet this year but here the F@&K I am again. ☹️🥺😞 I bought a Auger 3ft Husky Home Cheap-pot & it didn't work. I know some plumbers don't recommend this but i may get a pvc abs pressured plunger 🪠 one of them has a small co2 tank for extra pressure. My plunger didn't work either. I was thinking about TNT 🧨 next. 😂
Master plungers even work on elongated toilets their not meant to have a seal if it does it's better but it works with out it to, The plastic fills up with water and when it's pushed down it shoots a stream of water and unclogged the toilet My toilet was really clogged and I tried all the others until I bought the master plunger 🪠 was my toilet unclogged

Be careful using that with a toilet, you can blow the wax ring, and it will leak under your floor
Drape a towel over the toilet bowl when you use the water ram? It will catch the splatter?

Vacuum, not pressure is the key to 90% of clogs. Most clogs occur because too much stuff is trying to get through the same small hole all at the same time, pushing harder only sets the clog worse. Pulling suction temporarily reverses flow, thus allowing things to re-queue and move through orderly manner.

I've had multiple nightmare cleanups because of them.

Thanks, but toilet augers -or 'snakes', drive me crazy. No matter how I try, I can only get the snake to go in to a certain point and then it STOPS. I can crank that handle around and around and it still goes NOWHERE. Best solution, after trying hot water and dish soap: Buy a new wax ring, Drain and remove the toilet, clean out clog, place new wax ring over hole, reinstall toilet.

Cool
very cool...
You helped me with every way possible with my toilet this year but here the F@&K I am again. ☹️🥺😞 I bought a Auger 3ft Husky Home Cheap-pot & it didn't work. I know some plumbers don't recommend this but i may get a pvc abs pressured plunger 🪠 one of them has a small co2 tank for extra pressure. My plunger didn't work either. I was thinking about TNT 🧨 next. 😂
Korky Beehive Max Plunger.
You'r welcome.
Guaranteed to work.
If it doesn't...we've got problems 😂
My air ram blew the pipe of the back . Poo and water every where
i think i just need an adult
The worst clog is when you drop a nylon nut and it gets into channels and so your toilet is clogged all the time and you can't figure it out.
Ya I'm at the point I don't give a damn if I get shit on my hands anymore
Have you ever pulled a t-bone out of a toilet? Kids toys? The head of a toilet brush? I dont think the water ram would work with any of these
toilet auger might be your best bet
Avoid and deny. Making sure the denial is consistent and firm.Its Best way 💯 success rate....
i used the gun that home depot sells and used 8 cylinders and it dint work -.-
Just git yur wawf to sucker on out. If that don't work jus pull yur tollet up.

Here’s a guaranteed trick that works to unclog toilets:
Don’t clog it in the first place
(This comment is just a joke don’t take it literally)
I think I clogged the toilet by dumping pork bones in it, like square shaped fragments. What do i do
I would start off by not putting pork bones down a toilet….how deep down the toilet are they stuck
@@RogerWakefield they are out of sight
Master plungers even work on elongated toilets their not meant to have a seal if it does it's better but it works with out it to,
The plastic fills up with water and when it's pushed down it shoots a stream of water and unclogged the toilet
My toilet was really clogged and I tried all the others until I bought the master plunger 🪠 was my toilet unclogged
