Bathroom

Is your toilet clogged and you don’t have any tools in the house to fix it? Not even an old toilet plunger, much less a toilet snake?

Before you panic and do something you might regret later on (like calling in a plumber and spending a lot of money), here’s a quick tutorial on how to snake a toilet with a hanger. Sounds like an obscure way to fix a clogged toilet, but hey, it works.

How did I come around to discovering this weird trick, you may ask?

Well, it all started way back in college when I shared a house with three other people. Of course, not everyone is familiar with the concept of throwing out their toiletries in the garbage can and not the toilet. Hence, a massively clogged throne.

Being a clump of broke college students, we couldn’t afford to hire a professional plumbing service to unclog our toilet. We didn’t have a plunger lying around either.

Lo and behold — with the help of some Internet searching– I came across a tutorial on how to use a hanger to unclog a toilet. Now I’m here, ready to share the same wisdom with you.

The bathroom is an oddly unpleasant place, all things considered. The potential for mishaps and all sorts of accidents, most of which are largely not even your own fault, is huge.

From mirrors being broken due to unlucky timing and movements, all the way to cracked porcelain, there’s no shortage of potential issues. The most unpleasant, however, always revolve around the toilet bowl itself.

Unpleasantness regarding the one place where you do your most urgent and necessary bodily functions can be very daunting. Especially when they relate to getting rid of bodily waste.

You’d be surprised and quite possibly shocked at how often a toilet can get clogged, by all manner of things. Even a hairclip can sometimes do damage and that’s not even the most absurd example out there.

However, we’re discussing one of the most common causes of a blockage today – toilet paper causing a clog and a gigantic mess.

Have you ever gotten a clogged toilet at the worst possible time?

Like moments before a guest is coming over or after you really need to use it?

Needless to say, a clogged toilet is perhaps the worst plumbing problem that can happen to you. Not only is it gross and a huge mess, but it can also cost you a significant amount of money for repairs.

One trick that I learned when I moved into my first apartment was learning how to unclog a toilet using alternative measures. Sure, I could have used the traditional methods like using a plunger or just calling in a professional to fix my problem, but sometimes, neither of these solutions work.

A clogged toilet is a really unpleasant problem, and you probably haven’t thought about it up until you got stuck with it being clogged. In order to ensure your toilet’s proper working, you will need to learn some basics of fixing your toilet.

True, there are a lot of situations and different cases that can make overflowing problems, but most commonly, you will be dealing with the sewage drain pipe size (or it simply getting dirty throughout the time) which will clog easily.

Apart from that, excessive use of toilet paper might cause these problems. It’s a fact that the clogging potential with toilet paper is little to none, but after several years of excessive throwing toilet paper into your toilet, you just need to be ready for overflowing.
