You are a life pipe saver. I got almost the same issues as you did. All my pipes backed up, overflooding my bedroom, Hallway and bathroom. Was a very bad night. I do not see my outdoor pipes, but I used the MASTER GENIUS PLUNGER inside the main toilet drain, and VOILA A thousand thank you to you. !!!!

I have PTSD from our clogged toilet. I was plunging, plunging, and then the sewage started overflowing, like a slow, running, volcano. Luckily I was able to contain it, in the bathroom, with using rolls and rolls of Bounty Paper Towels. I tried Chemicals, Plunger, Pouring down Dishwashing Detergent, with hot water, an Auger. FINALLY !! What worked for me, was hiring a Professional Plumber, with a Professional Auger, and a Professional Service Charge of $400.00 Our house doesn't have a sewer pipe on the yard, he had to climb, on the rooftop. I'm so scared of this happening again, that we no longer wash clothes at home, we now go, once a week, to the Laundromat, and we no longer put Toilet Paper down the toilet. All the Detergent Soap, Grime, Dirt, and Toilet Paper, will eventually clog the sewer line again. Better safe, than 💩 sorry.

THANK YOUUUUU ❤❤❤❤ I literally had the same issue! The snake and uncloggers were not working. I went outside and found the cleaning pipe and it was a quarter full. After pumping using the exact same tool, i wasnt making any progress. So what i did was add some boiling water from the kettle and some warm water and filled around half way up to get some increase pressure. I pumped and pumped and water was slowly being vacuumed up and some splashed put. As soon as i took off the plunger, the pressure pushed everything down and was bone dry like yours. THANK YOU SO MUCH

Love the voice over. Clear and well understood.

Nicely done. Great Filming, Narrating and step by step descriptions. Thanks.

I like how you showed each thing that you dis.

Excellent. Just did mine 10 miutes ago after trying to snake it all day yesterday, but the clogg was to deep for my snake which is 25 feet. Used this method and it did the job, you just have to be persistent with the plunging.

this is my first comment on a blog (I guess that is what it is called),I loved it it made me laugh,added to my knowledge as I am also trying to be a good steward of my resources. Mostly I loved your honesty, openness and vulnerability.

You’re awesome!! 😄 well done guys! Not thaat is persistence! So glad your efforts finally paid off 💥

Thank you SOOOOO muchhhh i did it and it actually worked!!!!!!!! I still cant believe it!!!! Easiest fix ever!!!

Well done DIY…. troubleshooting and an education! Good job!! ❤

You needed a 40 foot main drain snake which is much sturdier and use a main drain bladder that goes on your hose.It worked for me.

How has it been so far?

Nice job.

Usually when the toilet flushing backs up into the bath tub, the main line has a clog caused by roots getting into the pipes. A pro plumber taught me that in old lines, the best repair is to line the old sewer pipes with a resin liner after grinding out the invading tree roots. Clean outs are required every 100 feet on long sewer line runs. If you have such a repair done, you cannot use a drain auger afterwards on the line to clean it. In those cases, you use water pressure to unclog the drain going to the city sewer line. Rental augers have heavier duty thicker cables (around 1/2" or thicker diameter) to cut roots with. Many have long runs up to 80 feet for rentals. Professional plumbers have augers that may be as long as 150 feet.

Thanks for this video 😉 I'm having the same issues😢 imma try it 🤔😁

if that keeps occuring, and you have issues with the main lines, useing rv marine toilet paper will help. found at walmart in the rv supply section. good video.

Thanks so much

Your a lifesaver!!!!!! Thanks so much for this video!! I was able to fix my clog with the plunger hack 📝🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😌

I agree! I used to live in a place with carpet in the bathroom, I would of ripped it out if it wasn’t a rental!

Would this work with a septic system?

Where did you find the Master Plunger for only $5-$6? Even Amazon charges more.

You did good. I don't want to spend money, every repair in nj starts at 500 and we're exhausted by it.

When the sewer clean-out, outside of your house is overflowing like in your case, that means the sewer blockage is somewhere BELOW that point from there, out towards the street where the main sewer line is. In your case, there was nothing wrong with your toilet.--- Old sewer guy :

Hey Mark, I just had to have my sewer clean out cleared due to a blockage and now everything flows fine. Issue is I’m hearing a gurgling of air in my guest bathtub when I flush my guest toilette. (Manufactured home) everything flushes but the gurgling is making me concerned. Any insight?

I just paid a plumber $300. I was having similiar issues.. started with the toilet gurgling when I was using the dishwasher. I plunged, then it still happened, but now the tub was gurgling and the toilet flush & drain was slow.. I plunged again. Water was not coming into the tub though. It was a temporary fix. It wasn't until I washed clothes in the washing machine. The water backed up and out of the drain pipe onto the basement floor. I felt it was serious. The plumber opened the main drain pipe to the public sewerage in the basement. I saw a lot of gunk, awful smell, bugs..He had a long 80ft. snake. It did the job. He said I should have professional clean every few years. 😅

nice

Where/how did you empty the shop-vac? The best solution I've come up with is to dig a hole.

Dear Playright: Very good video, preparation, and work. You've covered all bases and figured out a solution using a few inexpensive tools. In your description why didn't you have the option of hiring a professional plumber?

My toilets aren’t clogged but any water that hits the sink drains leak into basement.

My analogy is if you use some type of water pressure in the drain I think that is key and using some preventative often can be key.the plumbing world never mentioning these things like stuff that can work so we pay them a bunch

@Eddie-In-Las-Vegas

Wrong! A professional plumber wouldnt mention this method because we have highly effective and guaranteed to work cable auger machines that can push through just about any sewer stoppage imaginable. This little plunger method through the top of the clean out pipe is NOT effective and this lady here got lucky cause a real.tough stoppage wouldnt have cleared. A good auger machine is gonna get it everytime within minutes. But if you homeowners like playing around with your sewage fical mess.....go right ahead and do whatever floats your boat.

Check the basement or laundry room. You should have a main line drain (and often an overflow drain hole) somewhere around the lowest point inside your home.

Mine is just a big open drain in the back yard with 3 separate pipes that spill water inside - but none of the water is going down and the toilet won’t flush 😭 edit: and that same toilet paper issue is coming out the drain, nooo

Try not putting toilet paper down the toilet but in a trash can toilet paper clogs sewer lines
