Perhaps the most reliable way to get rid of a clog in the toilet is to use a plumbing cable, which is a twisted spring made of steel wire with a Z-shaped handle.
Below we will share with you a step-by-step plan for using this “gadget”.
How to clear a clogged toilet with a cable
1. The end of the cable is inserted into the toilet and pushed until it stops.
2. Rotate the handle in one direction until the cable turns to overcome the bend. While rotating the handle, support the cable with the other hand.
3. When the cable hits a plug of dirt, continue turning the handle.
4. If there is any doubt as to what the end of the cable is stuck in - the next bend in the pipe or a blockage, remove it by turning the handle in the opposite direction. Inspect the end of the steel wire - if you see any lumps of debris here, remove them and repeat the steps you have already taken again.
5. When you feel the plug move, continue moving, pushing it into the wide drain pipe.
Important: If you are going to clean a drain with plastic parts, do not forget to put plugs on the ends of the cable. Otherwise, it can damage the pipes and, on top of everything, you will have to replace part of the drainage system.
