Facing a toilet or plumbing problem? Fortunately, it's typically quite easy to handle these on your own.
Clogged Toilet
If your toilet isn't flushing properly, there may be something stuck in the pipe. You can use a plunger to push blockages through the system. Don't flush the toilet; the basin should drain on its own once you work the clog out.
Pipes (Sinks, Bathtubs, Etc)
If another drain isn't functioning in your home, you may be able to clear the pipe using a drain cleaning tool. Many hardware stores sell these devices. Please refrain from using harsh chemicals that could damage the plumbing system.
