How to unclog a toilet yourself

If your plunger won't unclog your toilet, you may have to go buy an auger. They sell for under $40.00 and home depot or your local hardware stores carries them. As you can see in the image above all you have to do is insert the tip of the auger to the toilet bowl and push the lever in, whatever is causing the clog will be pushed into the larger drain sewer line. Read the instruction prior to inserting the auger in the toilet and look at the diagram to avoid scratching the toilet bowl. Flush several times after it clears up so that the water drains and cleans the debris out into the sewer line. If you make a mess or have wet carpets or tile, call a carpet cleaning company so that your carpet doesn't get ruined and or smelly.
