In this article, we’ll show you how to avert a
morning household disaster by clearing a clogged toilet fast. With a little
practice, even a home repair rookie can get most clogged toilets back up and
running in minutes, without flooding the bathroom and making the situation
worse . . . sometimes much worse!
A $4.95 Plunger Will Make You the Family
Hero!
For about 90 percent of clogged toilets, you only need one
special tool—a plunger. Buy one with an extension flange on the rubber
bell-shaped end (opening photo). It’s designed to fit
toilets better so you can deliver more “oomph” to the plunge. You
could pull a woodchuck from a hole with one of these things. It’ll unplug
sink and tub drains too, if you simply fold the flange back into the
bell.
