Water started filling up to the brim, so I had to cut off the water supply really fast so it wouldn't overflow....now the water has drained and I plunged, and I'm pretty sure it's unclogged. But when I turn the water back on and flush again, it still keeps filling up to the brim! Does that mean it's still clogged? I'm pretty sure it isn't...I hope someone can help with this, my landlord will take his sweet time getting someone out here to fix this and I don't want it to be days before I get this toilet working again! Help if you can...thanks!!

This has happened before, and there was apparently a problem that the toilet wasn't draining properly...it wasn't still clogged. My landlord's maintenance guy fixed it somehow, but I have no idea what he did...any idas?

Hi
It is still clogged somewhere, try to keep plunging. Get the odd bucket of warm water and tip it down the pan.
Persistence is the key.
And oh next time make sure that what you are putting down it will get away. I am assuming you know what you tried to flush away, was it the landlords cat?

If it's still overflowing that means it's still clogged. Toilets don't just overflow because they feel like it.

don't eat so much bad food and keep plunging . it will drain. make sure you have a good seal around the hole and the plunger

use an auger, it is a snake like pole with a crank on top. as u push it down you turn crank this should clear it.
