Do you need to 'save' the toy? It may come out in one piece once you remove the toilet, depends on how big it is. A few years back my kid flushed a Buzz Lightyear toy made of plastic. I managed to break it into smaller pieces and it flushed after that. Used a pair of long 'angled' needlenose pliers for that job.HTH,JohnOn Tue, Mar 15, 2016 at 4:13 PM, Frank Ruggiero frankruggiero@me.com [DoIt_Yourself] <DoIt_Yourself@yahoogroups.com> wrote:Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
My 2 year old son flushed a small wooden toy down the toilet. I tried reaching in with my hand, but the hole is so small and seems to be on some type of curve so there was no way I could get it. I tried using a thick snake. No luck.
My wife called a plumber. The plumber stated that the toy was definitely in the toilet trap but that I would need to get a new toilet, because I would not be able to get the toy out?
He wanted $400 just to remove the old toilet. I told him thanks, but no thanks.
If I removed the toilet, could I not get the toy out from the bottom? Foolishly, I did flush it once, but the plumber states the toy is definitely in the toilet trap.
Why would I not be able to get the toy out if I pulled the toilet out?
Thanks In advance for any insight.
Frank
