I guess I don't know how to plunge

[Penguin]

My toilet was so freaking clogged! I used my plunger for 2 hours last night!


So, I called maintenance this morning thinking that an auger would have to do the trick. Nope. The dude showed up with his own plunger and in 15 seconds the damn thing is working like it's brand new! :mad:



I guess I need a good "how to use a plunger" lesson. :mad:

We had to use plunger on ours last night as well. Not fun cleaning THAT up. :mad:

It was the first time we'd needed to after our move, and I'm just glad that baj could find the plunger wherever it was!

[King Crimson]

"after our move"...

[stoops the eternal pimp]

"after our move"...

exactly....no wonder it clogged

[Fugue]

you people and your low flow toilets. My toilets have so much water and power that they will pull in small children and animals.

[Scott D]

I know the selling point on my toilet was the capability for it to flush a pack of golfballs without clogging the plumbing. :)

not that I'd waste golf balls like that.

[Fugue]

just as long as your own pair doesn't hang lo

[Scott D]

it's just weird knowing that the toilet fills from the bottom, and doesn't even empty half the tank when flushing.

[SoonerJack]

water in the bowl
get a good seal (may need to put some vaseline around the ring of your plunger)
12 plunges in rapid succession
on the 12th, pull the plunger out

You should be rewarded with the sound of the clog moving on down the line.

Now I'm going to watch the Acme video and see if they're doing it right.

If I don't have satisfactory results after about 10 minutes...I know it's bigger than me (no pun intended).

I spek your dedication.

It's amazing where those bastards can hide.

Damn it! He obviously worked on it enough to forcibly push the water thru/around the clog. It is still trying to overflow! :mad:


I'll call those idiots tomorrow and I won't let him leave until the toilet flushes 10 times in a row! :mad:

Nah. I live in an apartment complex. They'll send over a $5/hr Messican. :texan:

3 to 1 odds a real plumber says you need to replace the toilet after they snake it.

[StoopTroup]

Pour some "Slick 50" down yer toilet...

The PTF resins will make everything work lots smoother.

[Penguin]

Damn it! I tried some more!

I swear there have been no earth shattering events in the past few days that could cause a clog like this! :mad:

[Scott D]

you should quit plunging and either go buy a pipe snake, or call a plumber so they can use their snake before telling you you need a new toilet. :)

WTFrack?

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

I think the big penguin's saying that, too.

[Howzit]

A preposterous plethora of projectile penguin poop!

[sooneron]

I'm a plunger champeen.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

just keep using it without flushing

[Penguin]

I fixed it. I flushed 5 cherry bombs down the toilet. Now it works fine!


I seem to have an unrelated new problem now. Raw sewage is bubbling up in the front yard. Weird.

[VeeJay]

I've been laying down some seriously impacted number two's the last couple of weeks.

It sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard as it passes through the hole at the bottom of the 'mode.

No doubt, my son takes a dump...and the next thing I know i'm in there confronted with something that look like it needs the sicle and hammer logo...along with a periscope mounted somewhere on it.
