Unclogging your toilet

If your toilet is not overflowing but not flushing properly, try plunging first. There is no need to turn off the water if the water isn't rising close to the rim.

1. Get a bucket filled with water and have it at the ready.

2. Plunge vigorously fifteen to twenty times.

3. Pour water from bucket into the bowl until bowl clears or until you're in danger of overflowing the toilet.

4. Repeat plunging 2-3 more times, if necessary.
