Toilet unclogging in Milton

Most toilet clogs give up to a good flange plunger. The ones that do not usually have something solid lodged in the trapway, and that needs a different tool.

Suits: Toilets that will not clear with a plunger

The closet auger

A closet auger has a short cable inside a bent rod with a rubber sleeve so it will not scratch the porcelain. We feed it through the bowl outlet and crank it through the trapway, which hooks paper wads and pushes soft clogs through. For most stubborn toilets that is the end of it.

Signs this is the job you need

How the work goes

Stop flushing and turn the supply valve behind the toilet clockwise.
We try the closet auger through the trapway.
We pull the toilet if something solid is stuck.
We reset it on a new seal.
We test several flushes with paper.

When the toilet has to come up

Toothbrushes, toys, pill bottles and deodorant caps do not give way to an auger. If the cable hits something hard, we drain the toilet, unbolt it, lay it on its side on old towels and push the object back out of the trapway from the bottom. Then the toilet goes back down on a fresh wax ring.

If the toilet clears but the water still rises, the problem is further along the drain and we move to the branch line or the main.

Asked on the phone line

Can I use a regular sink plunger?

A flange plunger seals the outlet properly; a flat cup one usually does not.

Will a wet wipe really cause a clog?

Yes. So-called flushable wipes are a regular find in Milton lines.
