tybeegb Posted January 15, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 15, 2017 The upstairs bathroom toilet stopped up. Again. It's one of those low-flow fancy things. This time it really clogged up. No amount of plunging worked. Snaked it. No good. It wouldn't make the two turns this toilet has in the base. My next option was to pull the toilet up, which I did not want to do. I gave it some thought and wondered if using the wet/dry vacuum would work. I looked it up on a DIY site and sure enough they showed how to go about doing it. It was totally gross, but it worked. At least I didn't have to pull the toilet. And no, I don't think the other chemical options would have worked with the crap that came out of it. You really need to double flush those low-flow toilets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter whether the low flow toilet really works or not, it's the intention behind the mandate that counts!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 16, 2017 Share #6 Posted January 16, 2017 I think a "mercy flush" would really help here! It's the decent thing to do anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
