A blocked toilet is one of the most common—and most dreaded—household plumbing problems. The moment you flush and watch the water rise ominously toward the rim, panic can set in. But take a breath. In the vast majority of cases, you can fix the problem yourself in under 15 minutes with basic tools.
A flange plunger, rubber gloves, old towels.
A toilet auger (available at hardware stores for $15-$30).
A metal coat hanger, duct tape.
1/2 cup of dish soap, a bucket of hot (not boiling) water.
