Introduzione

Vai al passo 1

This guide is for clearing a toilet drainpipe that has been clogged by a toy or other large object.

A clogged pipe can happen frequently, especially when a family has kids. Kids may drop toys in the toilet bowl and flush them by accident. If this happens, do not worry. This guide will help parents detach a toilet bowl and remove stuck objects.

The tools are common household items and the process doesn’t take long. One thing the fixer needs to notice is that the toilet bowl in this guide is a one-piece, which means there is no need to remove the water tank from the toilet bowl. If you are using a two-piece toilet, you need to remove water tank first, and then remove the bowl.
