Title of Question:
toilet problem
Name:CC City: Shoshone
|
| Question: We had a plastic toilet paper roll holder fly into the toliet and be flushed down. My husband "fixed" it by plunging the toliet and flushing several times. Now we can't use the toilet at all because when flushed the bowl fills to the top with water and then slowly drains out. Nothing actually flushes down. Is there any way I can fix this? I really can't afford a plumber to come in! |
Post Your Answer To The Question Above:
| Answer: Sounds like a tricky home improvement problem because the toilet paper roll is obviously stuck somewhere. It sounds like you're beyond the plunger stage, so you could try an auger. Check at a hardware or home improvement store. They should be able to show you how it works. It basically has a cable that you'll crank up and down the trap and, hopefully, it will loosen the object. Then flush to clear out the drainpipe. You may have to do it a few times. If this doesn't work, call a plumber or you could create a bigger problem by trying to take pipes apart. |
