If your toilet clogs or your drain won't flush properly, there are a few different techniques you can try to resolve the problem.
Toilet Issues
Most toilet clogs can be handled with a standard plunger. Simply flush your toilet once and pump the plunger up and down to move the blockage through the pipe.
If your toilet isn't flushing at all, lift the cover on the back of the tank and make sure the chain is still connected to the flapper and the handle.
Drains
Hair and other debris can clog your pipes over time. It's always best to install a drain trap to prevent this from occurring.
If your drain clogs, you can try to use a plunger on it to push the blockage through the pipe. You may also purchase cleaning tools from a local hardware store.
