What is a "toilet auger"?
A toilet auger is a specialized tool used to clear blockages in toilets. It has a long, flexible shaft with a coiled, spring-like tip that can be inserted into the toilet drain to break up or pull out any obstructions. Toilet augers are designed to reach deep into the toilet's plumbing without damaging the porcelain. They are commonly used to remove clogs caused by items like paper, waste, or other debris that may block the drain, helping to restore proper flow and prevent further issues.
