My little daughter dropped a plastic hair clip in the toilet and the toilet has not flushed well since - very slow. Have tried plunger and pushed a snake all the way through the house - flushed OK once pack to draining really really slow - What are my options?:(
It sounds like you may need to pull the toilet and visually inspect the underside to make sure the object isn't lodged in the trap of the toilet.Quote:

Now take a coathanger, put a hook in it and go fishing up the bottom to see if you can hook the ,toy or whatevers caught up there. All you will need to reset the stool is a new wax seal. Good luck, Tom
There is another way. Before you pull the toilet, try using a wetvac to pull the water back quickly. This will sometimes pull the toy back with the momentum of the water. Also try the auger with no water in the bowl.
