How do you snake a toilet in a mobile home?

Answer 1

When you snake a toilet, there will be marks. When you are done, you can scrub part of it away. Most of it will remain and will definitely fade over the next few weeks. They aren't permanant. Scratches in porcelain are permanant so when you snake the toilet, be careful not to scatch the sides as you push the snake in.

wha?You don't snake the toilet, you snake the outside line. wha?You don't snake the toilet itself, you snake the outside line (the tap in front of your house). Plungers are for toilets. answerUe a proper 3 ft toilet snake (closet auger) with a crank, making sure the rubber sleeve is down over the metal end and auger elbow is tucked into trap before rotating snake to protect visible toilet surface. Rotate snake vigorously, while pushing 3-4� and pulling 2-3� at a time, to attempt to move the snake forward without catching and twisting it. These snakes have a tendency to fold back on each other, and the head shows up in the bowl. If rotation is difficult, does the snake have a problem rotating when not in the toilet. It may need servicing or replacing. When the snake is fully extended and rotating easily, it is likely through the bowl and a few inches down the drain. At this point, yanking a pushing very rapidly about 4-6� will often dislodge obstacles in the trap. After doing this several times, a good hard yank pulling the snake right out can be helpful.

Ans 5 - Usually it's much more effective to snake the main line (from immediately below the toilet if possible) Often in homes with unfinished basements or crawlspaces there is a 'cleanout' on the inner end of main drain line. Almost anything in a toilet (with the exception of solid objects like toothpaste tubes) can usually be blown out with a good plunger.

Answer 2

I've seen a few underneath, and there is almost always a 3" cleanout directly under the toilet.

Most mobiles are raised enough to crawl underneath,just like a crawlspace under houses.
