STOP...YOU'RE DOING IT ALL WRONG!
If you really want to know how to use a plunger correctly to unclog a toilet, sink or floor drain, you need to humble yourself.
It seems like something we all should know how to do instinctively. I mean, it looks so easy. Like a golf swing. But if you’ve ever seen me golf, you know I’ve made my share of disasters on the greens.
There’s a lot more to know about plungers than you think. And having these plunger tips in your back pocket could save you a lot of burst pipes and wastewater damage in the future.

I was using my plunger wrong. I didn't even know about that suction part that comes out. This helped me, thank you!

Was trying to use the sink plunger for my toilet clog for an hour untill I came across this video. Then I bought a toilet plunger and fixed the clog in 10 seconds...

Thank you for doing this video! It worked. First I tried 3 different plungers, broke the handle on one. I decided I needed to watch a video and learn how to properly use it. You really helped me and I appreciate it.

The second set of ten push slash pull plunging from your method unclogged our toilet. Thank you very much. Your knowledge is money. JCIL

Thank you for teaching me the rapid plunger trick. The toilet has been sluggish ever since we had people in installing a new floor. What came out was one of our dog's small toothbrushes. I guess "somebody" knocked it into the toilet by mistake.

What do you do if you have the right plunger, but the bowl is not round but elongated, and you can not get a proper seal?

Well, I just love it whenever there are any bathrooms that I can plunge.

Are you plunging with air or water? after the first plunge it's just air back n forth.

@1-Tom-Plumber 4 күн бұрын

It's the air that forces the clog out of the pipe

Those are toilet plungers. They work exactly the same way.

It’s clear you have no idea what you are doing. You are just trying to compress air and air is highly compressible do very little happens. The plunger is designed to use hydraulic pressure. You do that by filling the plunger with water which is not compressible then use the up and down action. This way you are multiplying the force many times.
