Clearing a Toilet Choke

It can be a very time consuming task to deal with when there is a choke toilet bowl. However, there are ways in which to clear it up therefore eliminating the cost of a plumber and taking up too much time in waiting for one to arrive. It is not hard to fix a toilet that has clogged. Just make sure the tools needed are handy. A few things that may be needed are plunger, bleach, gloves, and a bucket. It can be a bit messy, so do not wear clothes you do not want to get dirty, or splashed on.

First, gather all items needed. Remove the toilet tank to give you access to where the water comes from. There may already be water in there. Just make sure there is not too much water in there. But inside the toilet there should be some water. If there isn't sufficient water to plunge, then add some water in the bucket, be sure it's hot water. Pour that water into the toilet bowl. The point is to just make sure there is enough water in the bowl, to be able to plunge, without it overflowing the choke toilet bowl.

Now take the plunger and insert it in the toilet, base side downwards. Make sure the base is to the bottom of the toilet, lined up with the hole. The point of this is to form a tight suction between the plunger and drain. This will aide when it is time to plunge.

Next push down firmly and pull up, steadily and rapidly to loosen up the choke toilet bowl. This should be done until the gunk from the choke comes up. This is proof that the plunging is working. Continue plunging until it seems the choke is no longer there. Bleach can be poured into the toilet at this time.

Finally, flush the toilet. The toilet should flush as normal. This is how to remove a choke toilet bowl. Rinse off the plunger and put away the tools used. Remove the gloves and be sure to wash hands after the procedure.
