Clogged toilet??

Question

I recently installed a new toilet. Now the thing is plugged up. I don't want to plunge because I don't want to ruin the bowl. What kind of clog remover can I go buy? Thanks for any help!!

I used a plunger on my old toilet and it did leave black marks that would not come out. This is why the toilet was replaced. I don't want to ruin another toilet.

The lines in the bathroom are not clogged just the toilet everything else flows freely. I have a septic and all the lines are tied into one.

Answer 1

Drano works good.

Answer 2

If it's just a clog in the toilet itself, the only sure way to fix it is to use the plunger. I can't see how a plunger would damage your toilet, though. There's no magic chemical that can remove the stuff that's clogging your toilet. You're actually going to have to physically remove the clog

However, it's possible that the problem is in your sewer line, rather than in the toilet itself.

Use the plunger first, and if that doesn't work, post another question!

Answer 3

Plungers will cause less damage than chemicals (actually no damage). You may have moved the wax seal when you set the toilet and that is what is preventing the proper flushing.

Answer 4

most ppl use a plunger the wrong way......... you are not trying to push that clog down.....put plunger in toilet (sounds nasty)
but put your other hand in the toilet hold plunger down and make good seal push it down and pull up hard ....you want to pull that clog up not pack it in

Answer 5

Plungers are rubber. They don't ruin the bowl.

Answer 6

you have to plunge it first...their is no way to avoid this..if you call a plummer then will use a snake and charge you 80 dollars...but you can always use a combination of vinegar and baking soda and hot hot boiling water and pour that down there...but really just plunge it
