Clogged toilet?

My 3 yr. old had clogged the toilet with too much tissue. Each time I flush the water comes up the rim like it's about to flood but it doesn't. After half an hour the water goes down but when I flush it it starts to rise again. Besides plunging, which is doing nothing, what should I do? Is there anything over the counter that I can buy to unplug it?

Plunging really ought to fix this if given enough time for the paper to get "soft" But you can buy a toilet auger sometimes called a "closet" auger ant any home center. Looks like a 3 foot long letter "J" and has a "snake" in the center. Just slip this down the hole and twist away........make sure you buy one with a rubber sleeve over the bottom to keep from scratching the toilet.





For a quick cheap fix ........ Get a wire coat hanger and untwist it......bend a little hook on the end and go to digging away!!! (push-pull-twist) Good Luck
Reply:as a last resort.. Lowe and Home deport sell a toilet snake that works fast...NOT a plume rs snake that is too large and not flexible..
Reply:You need a good plunger,use it as fast as possible with the toilet bowl full of water. If this don"t work you may to unbolt it off the floor.
Reply:Use a plunger. They can be bought at any hardware store
Reply:if it's only tissue paper plunging it would take care of the problem. So i thing he put something else in there. I would go to the hardware store a get that wire thing that you fish through the pipes they sell small ones made just for that kind of job.
Reply:Go purchase a 'closet arguer'. It's a hand driven snake used for toilets. If that doesn't clear the problem, you'll have to pull the unit from it's mount and see what's stuck in the main.
Reply:My first question when you said you plunged it was what type plunger did you use. If you used a red flexible one they won't plunge a toilet. They are designed for sink drains. To plunge a toilet you need a bell plunger. Home depot sells bell plungers and toilet augers. My guess is maybe your child flushed a hair brush, toothbrush or toy down the toilet. Don't ever throw Q-tips in the toilet as they will hang up in the neck and you will never get them out even with a closet auger. The below link will show you a picture of a closet auger.

Reply:I'm assuming you've tried plunging it? If not, get a toilet plunger and really plunge it for a long time. If this doesnt solve your problem,unfortunately that means there is something in the main pipe that needs to be removed. To unclog the main pipe, you have to call a plumber. They most likely will have to open up the main sewage drain and snake it from that direction to pull out whatever is clogging it. I had to have that done in my old house when I first moved in. It ended up that someone had clogged the main pipe by flushing one or two paper towels down the toilet. Good luck fixing your icky problem.
