Im having trouble walking, one of my legs is longer than the other. Certainly youve made all this up trying to pull one over on the plumbing community. At any rate, forget the licensed plumbing contractor and the master plumber. Call a local, experienced, reputable, drain cleaning company. This problem falls within their area of expertise and they generally charge less. Good luck, Lane.: I have a partial blockage in my toilet and the water drains very slowly. A called a Master Plumber and he suggested I makeup a chain out of small paperclips about 4ft in length. He said to flush the toilet with about 10 gals. of water and as the the water started draining…let the chain of paperclips go down with the waterflow, but hold on to one end. He said the other end of the chain would snag on the clogged material and I would be able to jerk it loose if enough force is applied. Has anyone had any success with this method for unclogging toilets?
