Does anyone know the trick to unflushing a toilet when a plunger is not available.?
Question:
Answers:
You really need to unclog it with a plunger or closet auger. One thing that you can try and may or may not work, is pouring a five gallon bucket of water into the bowl quickly. Just watch the water level in the bowl so you do not overflow it. The additional water will cause pressure which can sometimes push the clog out.
Undo a hanger. . and use it to fish out whatever is clogged in there. . also when you flush the toilet, pour a cup of water in there before you flush. It ads pressure.
use a wet mop
Plungers are BAD, BAD, BAD! what you end up doing is ruining the wax ring that seals the toilet to the drain (it's only wax and you actually blow it out) By unflushing, do you mean there is something in there that you want? you can turn off the water and drain the water from the tank on the back of the toilet and then dismantle the tank from the bowl (not as hard as it sounds) once removed you can get to the "pee trap" and retrieve whatever it is. When you place the tank back on the bowl, be careful not to overtighten the bolts that hold them together as it can crack the ceramic. If its just clogged use the hanger idea or get a drain snake, they are relatively cheap and great to have around... Good luck!
