How to remove kid toy in toilet - Toys

If you see it grab it if not need a drain snake/ auger to get to it if not final option when all are exhausted is buy a gasket and remove the toilet

Hello Thomas Le,

Depending ENTIRELY on the size of the TOY...

If the toilet is actually in a newer generation "low flow"
"water saving " toilet... (for a BIG ENOUGH TOY)
IT is MORE than possible The toy is still inside
The TOILET...

Before doing ANYTHING else...

My very BEST recommendation would be to
completely CLEAN and empty (prepare your
WET/DRY SHOP VACUUM for WET SERVICE.

A 2' unfitted piece of 1 1/4 inch RIDGID vacuum
tubing fitted to the end of YOUR shop-vac would
be ideal. Complete the seal with DUCT-TAPE.

Vacuum OFF...
Without VACUUMING out the water from the toilet
bowl... GENTLY advance the FLEX-TUBE into the
throat of the bowl... The AIR in the sewer line
( past the WATER ) Can help you to pull air
(and possibly the TOY) through the VENT STACK
and up to the VACUUM HOSE...

THE WATER in the bowl will keep you from pulling
air from the room side (or consider putting a hand towel
in the bowl to keep AIR from coming from the ROOM side...

Turn the VACUUM ON... With any luck you will get
a vacuum purchase on the TOY with the hose.

Try to extract the TOY with VACUUM pressure.

ELSE
To remove and DRAIN the toilet...

- Simply shut off the WATER.
- Remove TANK COVER to a safe place
- DRAIN or SIPHON out the toilet tank
- Disconnect the water supply
- Remove the TWO base bolt cover caps
- (Look closely and TAKE PICTURE)
- Remove the nuts, washers (etc.)

On a protective layer of cardboard or shipping
blanket... PLACE the toilet safely on its SIDE.

WAX RING was used in the past (re-use TOILET)
I am proceeding as though that is INDEED TRUE...!!

Remove the WAX RING and clean/scrape BOTH
toilet and flange surfaces of WAX, dirt & rust.


There is a NEW TYPE of TOILET SEAL that makes
toilet REMOVAL and RE-SETTING easy... and
highly successful.

WHAT make TRADITIONAL "wax-ring" toilet seals
so frustrating and difficult... IF your positioning is
less than perfect...

Push the flex tubing "UP" through the TOILET
to dislodge your TOY.

IMPORTANT... If you are placing the same toilet
LIKELY ...
you can SKIP replacing those MOUNTING BOLTS.

Simply slip the plastic bolt holders over you OLD BOLTS
and make sure your bolts are pulled all the way UP.

READ and FOLLOW the RING-SEAL instructions:
- Place your NEW waxfree seal over the bolts
- Cut UNEVEN lengths of a large SODA STRAW
- Place the STRAWs over the bolts
- use the straws to guide the toilet over the bolts

Reverse remaining removal steps)...

>> Keep in mind... It is EASY to break a TOILET...!!

FIRMLY (only)...
tighten all fittings ( do NOT overtighten ).

USE shallow bowls (take-out plastic) under fittings
to check for MACRO leaks...

When you are confident your fittings are a SNUG
as necessary... USE CLEAN PAPER sheets to
assure you have no MICRO-LEAKS.

IT really takes two people to SAFELY place a toilet
without injury or breakage.

Consider a TOILET JACK if you are ALONE.
