Snaking a toilet involves using a plumbing snake (also known as an auger) to remove blockages and clear clogs in the toilet drain. A plumbing snake is a long, flexible rod that can be inserted into the toilet drain to break up or retrieve any obstructions.
: If the plumber can reach the clog through the toilet bowl, the cost remains lower. However, if they must remove the toilet to access the drain line, costs can rise to $400–$500 .
