It appears I need to back off the fiber a bit. I managed to plug up the toilet in the hall bathroom completely. The stoppage is not composed of toilet paper either. Even Sheryl Crowe would have thought my few squares was appropriate. I have plunged and plunged and plunged. The blockage is solid (heh, solid). I even went to get a better, more efficient plunger late last night (these things never happen in the middle of the afternoon, do they?) but it has not fared any better. I hoped gravity and time would help, so I left it overnight, but the toilet failed to flush this morning. I suppose I will plunge for a while more then I am going to have to call a plumber.
Hmm, you too?
ReplyDeleteIf there is drainage overnight, Dawn dish soap and hot water will help most times.
ReplyDeleteIf no drainage, I have a submersible dog dish heater that I use overnight and it hardly ever fails to clear the blockage if the plunger is used.

That is what happens when you make comments on Liberal blogs.

James I think it is Karma from wading in the shit over there
I got it open with some hard plunging this morning
