    Clogged toilet
    I have a clogged toilet, rented a snake and removed the toilet. Am I supposed to still see water in the drain?

    Hi Mshaw

    Nope, not supposed to see water in the drain after removing the toilet. Stick the snake down the drain and when the water starts to drain away, pull the snake back and forth a number of times in the same area to clear the clog properly!

    Good luck!
