you are an excellent communicator! You don’t short cut and skip rudimentary bits of information. You relay those little important things that only experience can teach you, yet you allow viewers the benefit of that experience. Outstanding and thanks so much. I’m on my way to Home Depot now!
Thank you! That’s a very nice comment to read
Made my day 👍🏾
Good info. Looks like that was an actual clogged toilet. Judging by the brown water. Thanks!
Thanks for watching
Thx sir, you just saved me a service call. Not sure how much but I was about to call, saw this video, went to harbor freight and $14 later my toilet was fixed.
👊
Glad I could help👍🏾
Not sure how I found this channel as I don't plan on doing much plumbing in my future but I've watched a few videos and I must say you seem like such kind and helpful guys! Keep up the great content :)
Well thanks very much for that amazing comment! Much appreciated!
Thanks for the demonstration. Im 45 and have done maintenance for years and have never had anyone explain it the way you can. Good job! I appreciate the time you spent doing the video. Keep up the good work.
You betcha! Happy to help.
Is that a Saab on your profile picture?
Hey man. Thanks for the tip to slide the lead part all the way in and then tip the part in your hands back. I had to do it a few times, as it was a pretty bad clog, but it's all good now, plus no scratches on the inside of the bowl. Very good presentation skills! Thumbs-up for you!
Glad it helped and thanks for the awesome feedback
Simplified demonstration including but not limited to simple tricks such as a bucket to hold the dirty water until cleaning the auger outside the house. Well done video.
Happy to help! Thanks for watching
Thanks so much for instructions, I got my toilet going All the best!
You betcha!
Happy to help
good vid! Great job explaining and demonstrating. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I like how detailed and thorough you were. Thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve been trying to snake my toilet for 2-3 weeks now. Had no idea that little button extended it out 3’. Unclogged first time I extended it. Thank you!!
Glad I could help!
First time I had to do one of these, never imagined I would have had to, your instructions taught me how to get it done!
Happy to help, thanks for watching
That was incredibly well done! You broke down and explained each step along the way. You are an excellent teacher!!
Happy to help! Thanks for watching
Many thanks. From England.
You betcha!
Exactly 💯 what I needed and good detail too!
Happy to help Thanks for watching
I shoulda watched your video first lol 🥺
Haha ya it can get messy
Nice tutorial for homeowners
Thanks for watching
Great video! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Great instructional video! Special thanks for covering 'real' secrets of how to use pressure correctly, and how to let the tool work vs. brute forcing it. People are already likely in a 'pissy' mood having to snake a drain (pardon the pun there). The temptation to just power it through is pretty natural. LOL.
Haha! Thanks for watching
Great Video that will come handy .
Glad you think so!
Great explanation. Got it done in under a minute
Glad it helped!
Thank you. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I remember my son stuck a soap bar and it got stuck in the s trap. I learned how to use an auger that day.
Oh no..😟
Thank you for your help. One of the most disgusting jobs I have ever done. But someone had to step up to the bowl.
Happy to help
1st year in real hotel maint. Much appreciated
good guy!
Thank you!
Nice instructive video man, I have the Ridgid 6' Auger i just bought and for some reason mine will not go more than a foot into the toilet drain, it seems like it's hitting something on the inside, and at one point it even double-backed and started to come back out the drain as i'm turning the crank and pushing down. I think the design of the Auger head is catching on things. I'm stuck...
Hi.
Have you tried taking your toilet off and inspecting the bottom??
@@ThePlumbingGurus I'm doing that today, I think the design of the toilet prevents augers from being inserted into the bowl drain. Cheap POS Home Depot brand toilet (Glacier Bay)
Sometimes it takes a bit of work to push the snake through the toilet. And yes those are not good toilets.
@@ThePlumbingGurus yes i'm aware of the effort it could take but this toilet doesn't have an actual opening that's large enough to fit the cable through, I tried to handfeed it through with gloves on and it's hitting against the porcelain at a certain point and there's no "opening", it's weird. And previously when i thought it was going in about 1', it was actually just coiling up in the area where stoppage is and eventually started coming back out where i inserted it. I been looking online everywhere on what kinda toilet bowl drain it is or the design and there' s no info anywhere
Yesterday started with one toilet at bottom was leaking so replace wax ring . Noticed toilet right in the next room was clogged I've tried plunger but it's bigger problem since looks like crap coming up in that next room's shower drain . I know you don't know how my lines are running this way or that but what can you tell me ? Seems next step is auguer / snake it but not sure where to enter . Have one cleanout I might use but it's way in the backyard ..
You can try pulling the toilet and snaking through there
Ty for this, got to 5:36 and unclocked it. I didnt realize all i needed to do was put in a little muscle. I wasnt using any trying not to scratch the porcelain. Im 13 lol.
You betcha! Happy to help out
Good job on getting it done
Seems my obstruction is way further down the line and this small auger won’t do it. I say it’s further away because now crap is coming up from next restroom’s shower drain. What can I use in small cramped restroom that’s sure to reach obstruction?
Hi
Your best bet is to either rent a 3” drain cleaner or hire someone to drain clean it for you.
You are best to clean the drain through the toilet.
Is this work for all types of toilets? Im just curios🙏
Yes it does
Hey nice job buddy how much one of those one
Nice
I have a unique item stuck. A deodorant stick lid. Any tips
That’s a tough one. I would give the snake a good effort. Might take a bit of time.
From my experience those kind of objects are really hard to unclog
@@ThePlumbingGurus thank you. I'm in a negative mood about it. I'm going to have to call a plumber.
It's actually sparked my interest into becoming one so I can do these tasks myself.
Maybe I can trade services to other tradesmen because these things get expensive.
Good video man, I bet you've clogged a few toilets in your day!
Lol 😂
I sure have
My toilet is overflowing. Poop everywhere. I open TH-cam, desperate for help! Luckily, I only have to sit through three advertisements for Wells Fargo before I get to content. I hate TH-cam.
Then call someone and pay for it 😂
Don't flush the toilet at the end.
Thanks for watching
