Lifesaver 👌🏻. Toilet was clogged for four days and times were getting desperate. Thought I had it unclogged a couple of days ago but must have only partially done the job. A combination of the water and plunging did the trick!

Not even kidding, my toilet has been out of order for like three weeks. I’ve been using other toilets in the house but it’s 3:30am and I can’t sleep so I figured I’d try to fix it and MIKE WE DID IT!!!

At 36 years of age I learned how to properly plunge a toilet. Thank you Mike!

3 years later and this video is still saving people money . Thanks man.

As a recent widow, thank God for you. Your methods worked and I am glad to know how to properly to use a plunger and the fact that you described exactly how the toilet actually works. I have been without this master bathroom toilet use for a week now. Thank you so much for publishing this and it worked beautifully.

1:40 - 1) if water low - medium - take 1 - 2 gallons of water and pour it in all at once in the bowl. do not do this if water is high or near overflowing (uses force of water to push it down) 3:20 2) Plunger with a narrow opening to push a large volume of water through (not air which will compress). 6:05 3) Snake- hold it by its protective boot and put the end towards the hole of the toilet (so that anything that scratches you won't be able to see) and you can start to extend the snake (his is 6 feet long) Thanks Mike!

Woo Hoo!!! Mike you are the man!!! Yep, I accidentally threw baby wipes in the toilet and clogged it severely. Panicking, I turned to KZfaq and watched some videos but yours, in my opinion, is the best. It is simple, easy to follow and voila!!! My toilet has been set free. I hope I didn't wake my neighbors when I screamed with joy and did my happy dance. It really is amazing how life works. I cannot afford a plumber but I do believe in prayer so instead of praying for money, I prayed for advice. So, Mr. Mike, by posting this much needed information, you answered a prayer from someone that you don't know and will likely never meet. You never know who you are helping in this world so I truly appreciate your free uploaded advice. I thank God for you and people like you. In these difficult times when finances are sparse, it is people like you who make the world a better place. I am sending prayers and goodwill your way. Thanks again. You are my hero!!!

Looked at some of the newer comments and i see that mike is still helping people to this day, you’re a great man for doing that and I hope you live happily during these times, you deserve it 😊 (btw your video helped me, thank you)

THANK YOU!!! First video I landed on and didn't have to look at any others. Super clear and well explained - cleared up my clog in a couple of minutes!

You saved me!!. Brand new toilet with no pressure! Been plunging for over an hour, nothing. Watched your video, added water and woosh! It flushed. Thank you!!

Best video for unclogging, I had my toilet clogged for about 5 hours. I tried everything then I stumbled on this video and it saved my life ! Great advice

Mike, you are a godsend. Fixed our toilet like a charm, and I didn't even have to make an embarassing call to my dad for help. Good video!

Excellent, I’m a senior citizen and I followed your instructions and was able to unclog the toilet. Took me a while but it worked. Thanks

Thanks Mike! Your tip about the plunger shape and filling it with water did the trick. I have 2 plungers: bell-shaped like yours in the video and extended bellow type. The latter was the one that filled with enough water to push it all through. The bent hanger usually works to loosen up the blockage, but not this time. With the bowl filled almost to the brim, I thought I'd need a plumber until I saw this video.

Thank you!!! I have had what is by far the worst clog of my life--a toilet clogged for about a week, and have been at my wit's end! This has shown me some incredibly helpful tips for getting it declogged!

Thanx 100 👌🏾😎 man. In my hotel room and the toilet is clogged. Been waitin on them to bring plunger for past 2 hrs and turns out all I needed was a trash bucket full of tub water . 👋🏾😂 thanx again!!!! God bless you!

Been having issues for months using your trick fixed it for me thanks :)

Toilet was clogged for days and I thought for sure I had to call a plumber. Didn't realize you are supposed to push as much as you pull with plunger! It did the trick. THANK YOU!

You are a life saver. I've used the first method you mentioned with the water and it worked!!

Thanks for the tips! Had a clog that was plungering for 3 hours and wasn't working. Watched this and the part where you "plunge" the air out of the plunger fixed it on the 1st try. Had never heard that. Thanks again

I know this was posted a year ago, but this video literally helped me tremendously and I just wanted to thank you! Thank you so much!

I’m literally soooo thankful my toilet was NOT unclogging and I was crying out of frustration. This video is golden 💛

Amazing video! My toilet was clogged all day until I came across your video. Very well explained. I loved how you went through all the trouble shooting to find the problem

Wow! I had the right plunger, but the wrong technique. All these years I've been plunging wrong. Get the air out first! Worked like a charm. Was set to buy a new toilet tomorrow! Thank you Sir!

you are a literal life saver ! toilet was clogged for 4 days and I watched this video , can now use my toilet 😁

Looking at your video, I realized I wasn't even plunging the right way. Your video helped me unclog a bad clog on Christmas day. Thank you and a Merry Christmas!!

Dude, your like a mix of will ferrel, the papa jons’ guy and like... mike rowe. You know how to give tips in a humorous way

Thanks Mike you helped me unclog my toilet. I poured water, water went down flushed, plunged and and a poo pourie spray bottle popped up.

saved my life lol I couldn't get someone to help me with all those quarantines going on

VERY INFORMATIVE AND HELPFUL TUTORIAL. DOING GOD’S WORK 😂🙏🏼

HELLO Mike ! mine tl is the buttons on the to pof tank can u demo. how can i get it fixed? thanks : ) i appreciate ur response.

this channel is the only channel that actually helped me. I saved myself from 2 situations because of this channel. I remember I came across this channel when I locked myself out of my own bedroom. Thank you so much.

Thanks, this has been very informative, I've had my toilet clogged for days, plunger wasn't working, I'm getting the snake tomorrow morning.

thank you so much! took me a week trying different methods but i didn't know it was just really simple!

The toilet clogged on Christmas! Everyone is here. Sos

Thank you so much. You really saved me because no one was home and it was just me. Out of my 17 years, I've never unclogged a toilet before, so I had no idea what I was doing.

Pretty old video but helped me in a pinch. I was actually plunging the toilet the wrong way. I did it in a up and down movement, still being in the hole but might not have been as effective while you just put the plunger right in the hole. I did just that and in one try its all fixed. Been trying for almost an hour so thank you for not making it last longer. Parents would have been livid.

Thanks for the tips! I tried your method twice didn't have much luck, but combining it with some dish soap and hot water finally did the trick on the third try.

You are a great home handyman .I followed all the steps and it worked. Saved me a few bucks for sure.

Wow! Worked like a charm for me as well. I was at my wit’s end (flushed a Clorox wand disposable head), and my wife and I were going nuts. This tutorial was quick, easy, and straightforward. You are a gentleman and a scholar sir. +1 subscriber.

Great success - Thanks for the advice, i really had to go.. Used the water pressure solution and it worked perfectly!

Appreciate your techniques to get a stronger toilet flush.

You helped me! No plumber necessary! I appreciate you.

Wow, TY! I'd been working on this toilet for 2 days and I was lucky to run across your article...used your water method and Voila, Success! I am so relieved, pun intended! LOL.

Thank you so much! Fixed my toilet all on my own! Well with your help lol

HOT DAMN! I know others have said it . . . but pouring water into the bowl did the trick. If I'm ever able to help someone with their clogged toilet, I'll be sure to give you and this video credit.

Most helpful, first plunged, which is my normal first option, then used the bucket of water, worked like a charm! Very Helpful!

It worked! Thank you :) I gave it a couple of plunges as well

Need you to know how much your video helped me! This was one of a few I watched on the subject and yours specifically helped me to unclog a toilet in my condo that has been clogged for months now.. 😅 Thank you very much! 💙 Liked and Subscribed! 🙏

Thank you for this excellent demonstration. The bucket of water worked for me! I so appreciate your help!! 😊

Thank you. I tried what other people had said to do. Didn't work. Watched your video and it worked like a charm.

I’m going through this crisis Now , I’m gonna have to try this out ASAP !

I’m a widow. My toilet has been clogged for two days. I’ve tried plunging and plunging. In fact, I bought two different plungers but neither helped. Your instructions did the trick. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Nice to see you use some sort of container to prevent a mess.👍

Life-saver! That toilet was clogged for 1 hour, but I finally managed to fix it. Thanks a ton!

Helped a ton! Thank you!

That bucket of water method worked great for my clog. Filled a 5 gal bucket halfway and poured it in all at once and problem solved. Thank you so much!

Thank you. Work in process.

Just fixed mine! You are awesome sir.

i am watching again this ' precious vid.!' i tried 1st, 2nd methods didnt work i will get the 'toilet auger soon'. ur vid. is HELPFUL!

Your video helped me! Thank you!!

Do you have any help it seems the clog has happen right at the beginning of the tube and can’t flush DOESNT seem to budge

Just found your channel and you were fast and straight to the point, I kept trying to plunge without enough water in the bowl....after you tips we are back in business. Plus now I know everything to look for in the future. THANKS !

What helped me about this clip was watching how you put a lot of strength into the plunger. It made me go back and try again. I watched how you had the water in the plunger and made sure to do that when I was working on my clog. I was about to give up after hours of pouring hot water and salt into the toilet. But then I thought I would give it one more try. I pushed and pushed and gave it my all....then I flushed. And to my surprise, the toilet flushed. Before the water was climbing to the top of the bowl and refused to go down and so I was taking the water out with a cup for hours. Thanks for your insight. Grateful we can flush the toilet again!

Thanks to your plunging tips I managed to resolve our persistent clogging issue. Thanks

Thank you!!! Had my toilet clogged for over 24hours. Fixed it by watching your video. Didn’t know i had been plunging the wrong way

I tried the dawn and hot water trick and I can't believe it actually worked!! My toilet was clogged for 2 days!! It was so nasty!! I had been plunging forever!! With 2 different types of plungers. I was desperate and my bathroom smelled so bad. I figured if it didn't work I'd be no worse off but to my surprise it worked instantly! I heated up some soapy water and waited 2 minutes before I began plunging again and down it went!!!! Thank God!! I didn't have money for a plumber and it helped to clean it

You’re a lifesaver, thank you !!!

Life saver! Thank you. I tried the first two and they worked

method 1 worked for me! thank you for your video!

Thank you so much the second method worked amazing got it unclogged in 5 minutes

Great video! Worked for me. Thank you!

Thanks Mike. Didn't know all those methods. Learned something new.

I always hold the handle dowm. Flushed better. Awesome and informative video. Ty

omg thank you! the water bucket method had me super skeptical, thinking i would just flood my bathroom. but to my surprise, it worked! thank you so much!

THIS MAN SAIS A CEREAL BOWL ON A STICK!!! IM CRYINNNNNNNNNGGG

Excellent video and demonstration. Some plunging and bucket of water did the trick. Thanks very much.

THE ONLY VIDEO THAT ACTUALLY HELPED ME! THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Thank you , you helped me so much

“I can no other answer make but thanks, And thanks, and ever thanks.” Shakespeare Of course, I would add a big ol' THANK YOU as the hydrostatic advise worked!!

Truly easily and very helpful!

The kitchen detergent worked!! Thank you 🙏

Schools should give classes on basic home appliance repair.

Explain to me how when pouring a bucket of water in and it flushed is it still clogged.

Thank you sir. The technique with the plunger worked for me.

I finally learned how to properly use a plunger! Thank you!

Many many thanks! 'Thought I knew everything but you taught me that I didn't know how to use the snake. My wife wants to marry you.

Took me like 5 minutes but it finally worked, Thanks!

Omg I want to say a big massive thank you,my toilet has been blocked for three days I was about to have a breakdown untill I followed your advice with the plunger and it worked on the first try,thank you soo much ❤

Dude-You are amazing. Another winner!

after an hour of plunging, the bucket of water worked.. thank you so much for this video. that was almost a very long night,

Though you may have a partial clog it appears that your tank isnt flowing enough water to aide in a good waste flush..maybe there is an adjustment to the float to gain more water volume..?

Thank you so very much!!! Took me a while, but finally worked with Dawn, hot water, and the right kind of plunger.

Omg the water trick with plunging saved my life! Spent an hour clenched but I cleared the clog. Thank you!

The small holes around the bowl and the large hole water comes out will fill up with calcium and you can use a metal clothes hanger and remove the scale from each hole--helps more then anything--you should do it every couple of years--even it on city water

THANK YOU SO MUCH. my daughter clogged the toilet and it took for ever to go down and then I saw your video and it worked👍🏾❤️

Thank you so much the water method worked.. So glad you made this video you are helping a lot of people.
