How to Unblock a Badly Blocked Toilet?
The toilet is the most commonly used sanitary product. When the toilet is clogged, we need to follow these methods to properly unblock the clogged toilet so that it will not affect daily use.
1. Turn off the inlet pipe first
(1) If the toilet has been blocked, don't expect flushing to solve the problem. Blind flushing is likely to cause water to overflow from the toilet.
(2) First find the water pipe valve connected to the toilet tank, and turn it clockwise to the end to close the valve to prevent water from continuing to enter the tank.
(3) When there is any problem with the water tank or sewer, the first step is to turn off the water valve to ensure that no water overflows, otherwise cleaning the toilet will become a very huge project.
2. Prepare a toilet plunger
(1) The toilet plunger is a very useful tool when repairing the toilet. No matter what shape the suction cup of the toilet plunger is, as long as it can cover the drain of the toilet.
(2) Fill the toilet with a small amount of water just enough to cover the height of the suction cup. This water can save you effort when pulling out the toilet and sucking. Because the water inlet valve has been closed, if necessary, you can take a few glasses of water from the washbasin and pour it into the toilet.
3. Use the suction cup to aim at the drain of the toilet bowl, and pump evenly and forcefully
(1) You will hear some echo from the water pipe, and you can feel pressure on the suction cup. After pumping 5-10 times, pull out the suction cup to check if the blockage is loose. If not, continue to repeat the above actions.
(2) If you see that the blockage is drawn out, you can try to flush the water. Do not open the water valve at this time. The remaining water in the reservoir is sufficient.
(3) If you find that the sewer is unblocked, you can open the water valve to fill the water tank. Flush the toilet after filling it with water. At this time, pay attention to observation. Once you find that the sewer is still blocked and the water is overflowing, you should quickly turn off the water valve.
4. Prepare a sewer dredge
(1) If the position of the blockage is close to the nozzle, the blockage can be taken out by the toilet suction. But if the blockage is deep, more effective tools must be used to clear the pipeline. A sewer dredge is a tool made of flexible thick steel wire. This tool can be used to go deep into the pipeline to take out the blockage.
(2) Deepen the head of the dredge into the pipe and roll out the blockage. Be careful when working, don't use too much force, and try to maintain a slow and even force.
(3) In order not to damage the sewer pipe or jam the dredge in the pipeline during repair, when you feel that the dredge has loosened the blockage, you can take out the dredge, re-use the toilet a few times, and then use water. Flush, at this time you can find that the blockage can be washed away by water.
(4) If you don't have a dredge and don't want to buy a new one, you can also use a metal hanger to change it into a dredge, which can also achieve the same effect.
