The toilet overflows when flushed, drains very slow Used Drano and the plunger, doesnt seem to be a clog?

Question

The top of the toilet(dont know the name) that holds the water if full, but something is wrong. Any Ideas?????

Answer 1

A snake seems to be the right answer. Don't use Drano in toilets! It generates heat and could crack the toilet. By the way, Hopflower is an idiot--you do not need to call an "expert" or a "tradesman" everytime you have a problem that also could be solved by calling an expert; if you did you would spend thousands of dollars on ordinary fixes that you as a normal adult should be able to fix yourself. A clogged toilet is something you should be able to deal with yourself, unless it is a persistent problem, in which case you might need a plumber who can snake out the drain much farther down the pipe than you can with a consumer-grade snake.

Answer 2

might have something blocking the flow. In my case it was my sons tooth brush. Might have to buy a "snake" at a hardware store ($30)and use it to go through the turns in your toilet. Have a bf or husband or some guy you know to do it. Messy job and not fun. But if you can find someone willing cook him a dinner/ buy him some beer and it'll make it all worth it.

Otherwise pony up some money and have a plumber come in and do the job for like $200.00. Up to you.

Answer 3

Go to the hardware store and buy a Closet Auger. It is a curved pipe with a flexable wire ( snake) trhat is designed just for that purpose. Cost about $20..Read the directions...As far as the blockage goes, if your body did not produce it don't put it in the toilet, with the exception of toilet tissue..Have at it . Should be done in five minutes..

Answer 4

Well obviously it is clogged. You will need to use a "snake" That is one of those long wire things that the plumbers use to clear the pipe out further down the drain. You could rent or buy one or just call a plumber.

Answer 5

The clog might be farther down the pipes. Your best bet is to call a plumber unless you know someone who can look at it for you. Also if you have a basement check down there to be sure you don't have water in the basement from all of this.

Answer 6

Could be you need to drain the septic tank, does this happen to your shower?
If not toilets do break after a long while and need to be replaced, maybe your toilet needs replacement.
If it's a clogged toilet maybe you should try with a clothes hanger, just twist it so it becomes sturdy and stick it in there, maybe something is stuck!

Answer 7

your going to need to use a toilet snake,,sounds like a foreign object like a toy or something stuck in the trap !!! you can have a plumber do it or buy your own at a good hardware store...pretty sure this will bring out the blockage ... good luck.

Answer 8

there is a clog some where in the toliet or the sewer line.......it needs to be snaked

Answer 9

Here is an idea: They have tradesmen called plumbers who are expert in these things. Call one.
