    You need a plumbers snake. They sell a cheap version at hardware stores and maybe wal-mart. Plumbers usually charge about $75 an hour. more on a holiday

    It might be clogged down deep. I had that happen once. I had to unbolt the toilet, lift it up and put it aside temporarily. When I did, I saw the problem instantly: the clog was in the pipe coming out of the floor, where it met the seat. And the reason for the clog was that there was a misalignment in the piping which provided an area for junk to accumulate in. Yea, I saved money doing it myself, and it didn't take hardly any tools or much time, but it was nasty!

    Just an Idea. Try aggressively plunging it. When I say that I mean everthing you got. I know it will be gross and water will go everywhere, but be mad at it so to speak.

    Have you tried a plunger?

    Buy yourself a snake thats not real its a plumber tool or take a hose with a nosel that can force water on the problem a plumber usually gets 40 dollars just to walk in the door. pour a bottle of bleach let set overnight maybe it would eat at the problem

    plumbers are expensive. have you tried liquid plumber or one of those type things to see if it could break down whatever is plugging it up? You could have a clog in one of the pipes that could be anything. The last time we had a plumber it was $90 an hour and he was there for 3 hours. This is in PA. And if it is a holiday or an evening, it will be even more expensive.

    call a drain cleaning company(rotorooter etc.) a plumber in massacusetts costs about 135.hrly no that isn't a mistake. a drain company will be less and has more drain opening equip. on his truck.

    Source(s): master plumber -------- the product people are talking about is a "closet auger" it will do the trick if the blockage is within 2 feet. rigid makes a good one that is effective. maybe at home depot or lowes

    Just call and ask them how much it would cost to have them come out and fix your toilet. If you explain to them what the problem is, most plumbers will know what they have to do and could give you a pretty good estimate. The only thing is if they run into a problem, it would obviously cost more.

    Source(s): my dad is a plumber.

    borrow a wet vac, wrap a small towel around the end of the hose, turn it on stick the hose into the toilet,

    or when you get paid buy a chair cane, at a hardware store, there about $10 or so it is a snake wire,
