Who would have thought that you could use a shop vac to unclog your toilet? It may not work every time, but it’s worth a try, so why not give it a try?

It doesn’t matter if the toilet bowl is filled to the brim with water or if the water is running slowly over the toilet bowl and you know something is blocking the flow of water. In other words, you have a clogged toilet and it doesn’t really matter if the water overflows, falls on the bathroom floor, or doesn’t flush properly. You know you have a clogged toilet.

The first thing you will need to do is remove the air filter from your shop vac. I should probably remind you that you can only use commercial vacuum cleaners that can suck up water. Obviously, you can’t unclog the toilet with a regular vacuum cleaner or one that can’t be used to clean up water.

After you remove the air filter from your shop vac, you can stick the end of the host down the toilet and start sucking up all the water. Hopefully this will remove whatever is blocking the toilet now and you are done with your digging.

If the vacuum suction hasn’t dislodged, the object in your toilet, and all the water is out of the toilet tank, try refilling the toilet tank and suck all the water a second time. You can repeat this process, about five times, and if it doesn’t work, you’ll most likely need to remove the toilet or use a plumber’s snake to remove the object.

It doesn’t hurt to try to use the water vac at least a couple of times, sometimes the item just needs a little push and can be removed when it falls back into the toilet bowl or repositions itself, to be flushed down the toilet . toilet.
