Unblocking A Toilet
49 Answers
Lord knows how step son has managed to block his loo but he has. Think the blockage is in the u-bend. I certainly cant feel anything this side of the u-bend (carefully using my *** stick).
I have tried washing up liquid and hot water.
I have been advised to use an old fashioned mop to plunge it but I dont have one. There is no way I am using my plunger - the handle is far too short and I am being a wuss.
We do not have a single wire coat hanger in the entire house.
Any other ideas apart from calling Dyno-Rod or whoever (and sending the boy child to the pub to do his business)!? We do have other facilities, but obviously this needs dealing with.

In my experience, if it's extreme turdation then mechanical means is most effective. Don the gauntlets of Pan and prepare for battle.

Barmaid - I saw this the other day. Does this explain the situation?

lol Wolf. I suspect so!
I think I have no choice but to go and buy
a) rubber gloves
b) heavy duty plastic sacks to cover the rest of my body
c) a mask with breathing apparatus (OK, perhaps not)
d) a bottle of wine
I can at least get all of the above from the corner shop.
If that doesnt work, I am moving out.

In my opinion, the first reply you got provided the solution. Our younger son seemed occasionally to cause the same sort of "emergency" (of course not deliberately) for a time in his life, some toilets being more susceptible than others. The solution was always to empty a bucket as sharply into the toilet as possible and that did it on the first attempt in 99% of cases (too slow was the most common reason for failure). It is important to have no more water in the bucket than the toilet will take, band if the amounts match then you can literally tip the bucket upside down in an instant - but make sure you aim for the puddle because otherwise there may be a splash out of the toilet.
Well "Bog-gate" is resolved.
Recipe:-
half a bottle of washing up liquid - squirted down between kettles of hot water and flushing
half a packet of soda crystals - again with kettles of hot water and flushing
much swearing (I am SURE that helped)
bleach

Thank you all for your helpful suggestions and funny remarks. Douglas gets BA simply because his turn of phrase is still making me laugh 3 hours later.
Unfortunately, one of the cats now has a serious case of the runs. So it appears that today I am going to be dealing mainly with excretia. Today is Turd Tuesday.
