    Toilet blockage. I have used a plunger as usual, but this time it is not working. Wha
    My master bedroom's toilet has been clogged some time, but by plunging it can solve the problem. But this time a plunger won't work. I will need you advise and try it my best before I call a plumber. Thx.

    Get a closet auger, a good one at Home Depot is between $25 & $35. You can also find cheaper ones.
