Plumbing issue? My two year old has flushed a toy cell phone down and now it is stuck, deep. We have tried a

Professional auger and it did not budge. Any suggestions for getting hard objects unclogged?

    Turn off the water, flush it, sponge out all the water from the tank and the bowl. Disconnect the water line. Unbolt the tank from the bowl. Unbolt the bowl from the floor. Using a utility knife, cut the caulking around the floor if there is any. Take off the toilet seat. Carefully pull the bowl up from the floor and flip it upside down on a piece of cardboard. Auger the toilet from the bottom and you should get the phone out. Then remove the old wax ring and wax from the floor drain opening. Put on a new wax ring to the drain on the floor (use a #2 or #3 ring), and then reassemble the toilet. Do not over tighten the floor bolts, tank bolts, or water line to the tank. Good luck, if you can't get it out you will need to call a professional or possibly put in a new toilet.

    My girl friend done the same with her cell phone. I had to pull the toilet and find something to dislodge it from the trap inside the toilet. be sure you shut your water off then flush the toilet, then take a wet dry vac and suck out all the remining water from the bowl and the tank remove your toilet, to remove the phone. then replace the wax ring that seals the tolet and the mounting bolts that secure the toilet. when you set the toilet back down becareful not to over tightnet the toilet and snug it down equally on both sides. Good Luck

    If a professional auger didn't do the trick yo are probably going to have to cut open the pipe as close to the toy as possible to remove it.

    If it is still in the toilet, you will have to remove it by unbolting the toilet and cleaning it out. If is in the main drain line you will have to get a sewer machine and run it thru the line. Good luck and God Bless.

    Since you tried everything else, maybe a shop vac and suck the toilet dry.

    Take the toilet off.

    Take it out & put the toilet back on, use a new wax ring.
