My kids flushed something down the toilet. Maybe hot wheels car(s).

Auger wouldn't clear it so I pulled the toilet up. Have tried to auger it both directions but something is just jammed in there closer to the inlet.

Water passes through the jam but slowly.

Any tips?

Thanks.

Try hot soapy water.

Take it outside and try running a water hose thru from the bottom with the water turned on and see if you can flush it out the way it went in

Perhaps try a customer made "fishing tool" from a high quality metal hangar? probe, twist, see what catches. I once found a toothbrush this way. Darn kids.

Sounds like a chance to upgrade the crapper

Update? Break down and call a plumber?

Toilets are $100. How much time are you willing to spend on an existing one before buying a new one?

Or are you saying the clog is downstream from the toilet?

Downstream. Edit. Looks like I misread.

I'm not afraid to mess with my sanitary lines, but this seems like a job professional plumber. They can run a camera down the pipe, etc.

Have you tried one of these? Pretty cheap.

Had same issue. Went to hardware store and bought an auger looking hand tool. (Snake with spring on end). Stuck it in as deep as possible -nothing. Used twist function and sure enough, latched onto a dog food scoop. No idea how it that got that far up a pipe.

Update:

After trying everything with no luck I smashed it with a hammer to find a plastic toy boat jammed in the pee trap.

New toilet installed

Sometimes just reaching in with your hand (rubber gloved?) is realistic. It's your crapper isn't it??

Oh, rubber glove? Really? Guarantee you that you've put your hand into something dirtier than a toilet.

You forgot to pick up your toys after playing Pirates of the Caribbean, didn't you!?
