What is the best way to get a toilet unplugged?

A plunger

Hot water

A small atomic weapon

if that doesn't do it you can try a snake, and if you don't get it with that you need to call the guy.
You may have issues further down the line, broken sewer pipe, tree roots, of the 6 boxes of flushable wipes (FYI they are not flushable) you shot down there this month made a killer clog.
Running a camera down there will tell the tail of what happened.

So it is unplugged after some prolonged and vigorous plunging. For the record, I don't use wipes - I have a bidet that is extremely effective and my butt and my pipes are always clean... 😃😃

[Fireguy17]

good, just add a courtesy flush and you will be ok.

[Asker]

I always do. Thanks for help!

[Fireguy17]

but does everyone else?
It happens, glad you were able to take care of it yourself, way less expensive.

[Asker]

Indeed - I have called plumbers a few times in the past for more serious problems. $$$$ just to show up...

[Fireguy17]

if you can get one to show up.

[Asker]

oh.. they show up - with their hand out for money.

[Fireguy17]

around here it is hard to find one that can show up within a week.

[Asker]

ya... that too sometimes...

If a plunger doesn’t do the trick, you’re gonna need a toilet snake. If it’s an inorganic plug, you might need to call a plumber.

[Asker]

I have a toilet snake if worse comes to worse...

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

It’s “worst comes to worst”

[Asker]

Yep, it is - my bad - missed that. The plunger, after about 20 plunges, did the trick! My pet atomic weapon is disappointed that he won't be used this time.
