Stubborn Toilet Obstruction

[Matt A]

Hey guys I've got a Stubborn toilet clog. Here is the crazy thing it's a 2 story house I've got my master bath which is the toilet that's clogged....10' away is a 1/2 bath and toilet which drains fine the master shower drains fine as well as all the sink's.... It's a complete mystery. The toilet is holding water all the way to the rim... Plunging does nothing (nice bellows style) and I ran a snake 20' in and that did nothing. Thank God my wax ring is holding or I would flood the entire upstairs! Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I guess my next step is to remove the toilet and water blast the drain?

Check this article on the closet auger: https://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/how-to-use-a-closet-auger-on-a-plugged-toilet.18133/

. The toilet is holding water all the way to the rim

How long does the water stay up?

If you remove the toilet, that might be a good time to switch to a more modern toilet that will be less prone to clogging.

I will definitely check out that thread the toilet is a 4 or 5 year old Kohler dual flush elongated which has served us well up until now(

Water stays up for about 25 minutes

Excellent information! Thank you so much for the links. I wish this would be a Smurf or a GI Joe. I guess I'll pull the bowl tomorrow and go from there.

Just thought I would report back..... Success! So I removed the bowl and snaked it with my new commercial duty reinforced cable snake auger and finished it off with a drain dog hose attachment. Working perfectly now!
