Snake A Toilet With A Drum Auger | How To

Remove the auger entirely. Let the toilet sit for 30 seconds (let any debris settle). Then flush. If the water swirls and vanishes like it’s supposed to, you have won. If it gurgles or rises, run the auger one more time—sometimes the beast has friends.

Finally, dispose of your waste properly. Do not leave the "treasure" you retrieved on the bathroom rug. Bag it, bin it, and wash your hands thoroughly. how to snake a toilet with a drum auger
