If your toilet or drains have clogged, you can usually resolve these problems on your own. Follow the steps below:
Toilet Clogs
Use a plunger to push anything stuck in the pipes through the system. Push the plunger up and down repeatedly and avoid flushing the toilet, as this could flood the bathroom. Continue this process as necessary until the problem resolves itself.
Drains
If your sink or bathtub drain isn't draining properly, you can purchase a drain cleaner in most hardware stores. This will fish any debris stuck in the drain out. If you try to use chemicals to dissolve the blockage, avoid any caustic products, as these could damage the pipes.
