My kids put a toy in the toilet and the water won't go down. We took the toilet off the base and the pipes are clear, so whatever it was is stuck in the actual toilet. Any advice on how to get it out? We tried this thing we got from Lowes you use to unstop toilets and a wire clothes hanger, but we can't get it out.

If you've already got the toilet off the base, take outside, and wear rubber gloves, get hand in from one end or other and try to rotate the toy in the bend, If it's plastic, BREAK IT if need be. It got in so it CAN come out back UP the way . . . but probably have to twist it a bit.,

With the toilet off the base you should be able to get your hand in (definitely wear gloves) from one end or the other....you might have more success going at it from the bottom end so you can just push it back out the way it came. I would give it a go yourself before you call a plumber because it's going to cost you a pretty penny. A wire hanger and a toilet snake may be sliding right by it...you need something with a bigger surface area...I would try to get your hand up there first to give it a push.

A new toilet is $100 or a visit from a plumber is $100 and up. You could buy a plumbers snake to try to push it out if it is a valuable toy/ I would just put in a new toilet and write it off as a lesson in where not to put toys.

hmmm, you could try dumping buckets of water down the toilet, because then it would force flush the toilet, and then the toy might flush down with it. I hope it wasn't a favorite toy!! Good Luck!!

you need to call a plummer. they have this thing its like a big cord that has a grabber on the end and can prob remove the toy for your child if she/he is having a fit about losing it. just explain it to them and they can prob give you an estimated price it wont be cheap. they never are. good luck
