Having a plumber’s auger and knowing how to use it may save the day when you are faced with a clogged toilet. By using the tool properly, you may avoid having to call the plumbing professional. You work the snake down the toilet, trying to break the clog up or hook it and pull it back out. If you cannot reach the plug by going through the toilet, you can lift the toilet from its seal and get further down the drain that way.

Once you have taken it all the way to the removing-the-toilet stage and have not been able to cure the clog, it may be time to call in the plumbers. Modern equipment can locate and identify the clogging problem. The plumber then can remove the blockage quickly and get you and your family back in business.
