Toilet is blocked... HELP...

Oh a snake will do the trick..
We have 4 bathrooms- and last year the most infrequent used one clogged up- it would run but very slow. After trying the plunger rountines etc, he got out the snake and 25 feet down snagged something- pulled it up.. it uh was one of Zubins rubber bones... My husband said a few more feet it would have hit the septic tank and then we would have had a real mess on our hands.
As far as cost- I do not know compared to a plumber, but a snake is one of those things- once paid for it saves all the future service calls etc..

Do you own or rent? If you rent, call the building manager.

We rent.
Should the building manager fix it for free? We're inexperienced in this aswell.. GAH being young sucks at times lol


EDIT:
toilet info
Just incase the manager wont do it for free.. Is this site accurate? I'm only interested inthe plunger/snake part.. NOT the removal of a toilet.. I'm not crazy lol

Chad is coming here soon to trade me cars. I'll tell him to call the manager when he has a free min today, as they might fix it for free

I hope they do.

I thought the toilet was always slow since we moved in (not slow slow, just slower then I'm use to), so maybe there was a build up from before & we just happened to get the block. I hope nothing fell into the toilet & we didn't notice.. that would suck

Dad owned rental property for 25 eyars. Tenants call about EVERYTHING. A plumbing issue gets fixed; CALL. Landlords want to take care of problems BEFORE they escalate.

Just CALL, it will get you on the list. This being Friday, you REALLY need to call NOW, as it costs the landlord more for a Saturday job.
