How do I fix my toilet?

My friend pooped in it and filled it with tap water. Every time we turn it back on and flush it, it just overflows again. We tried plunging it but it just filled with poop water and its doing the same thing with the overflowing. Any help on how to fix it? Hurry please!

    Had the same problem with a rental unit I had. Plugged up and would continually overflow. I plunged it, and augered it and nothing worked. Ended up taking the toilet off the floor and finding plastic q-tips bridging across the ouflow sewer line in the floor. The low flow toilets seem prone to overflowing and flooding when plugged as opposed to older style toilets that you have to toggle a couple times to get to overflow when plugged. Had water flooding down to lower floors and shorted out the installed hard wired fire alarm sensors so they were going off. Had a cousin who had $30,000 flood damage from an overflowing low flow toilet. Sure glad we have a government that mandates how we can sh**t.

    Think you will have to uninstall the toilet and find out where the blockage is.

    Hi

    Sounds like you need a closet auger. They can be rented at most hardware stores. Run it down the stool and crank on the lever. You may even pull something back. As far as your friend goes stools by code have to be able to pass a 2" round ball.

    plung it a lot harder until the water starts to drain.
