Wife thinks she accidently dropped her old tooth brush in the toilet. She surmised this after it started flushing real slow. We have to use the plunger on every load now. The rest of the house drains good. So I tend to believe her. Is there any way to fish it out without removing the whole toilet?

Money order please, no checks.
She asked me how I could get you to post the most insane post of ever.
I told her for a 500.00$ , I could come up with it. You get 200.00 as soon as we quit laffing..........Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks

first you could try a coat hanger,good luck.might try a wet dry vac and see if it would suck the water back and dislodge it. next you could do a toliet auger ,good luck,you might even push it farther down the line.
go get a wax ring and new bolt kit and carry it out in the front yard ,turn it upside down and know you got it. fun stuff,but doesn't cost much for the entertainment factor.
be sure to place a order for your favorite dinner tonight. larry

Is it possible it's caught in the first bend in the porcelain?
I had something similar and was getting ready to pull the bowl. Turned off the water, flushed to empty the tank, sponged the water out of the bowl and as I got it dry, the item fell back into the bowl on it's own!
Couldn't believe it, I rarely have that kind of good luck in a bad spot...buic

So you pull the toilet. It would probably be a good idea to repalce it with a new one anyway. 20 minutes max. Less time than you spend fighting with it.
Just kill the breaker to that toilet, put a lockout on it, and....oops wrong trade.
I hate plumbing too, but this really is an easy one. Get the wax ring ready and shut off the supply, start discconnecting.

Yep. That's why I hire plumbers.
I have at least 3 " Great Moments In Plumbing" stories from when I was young and brave...............
On a hill by the harbour
I hate plumbing... yesterday morning Sherry says her sink's draining slowly... of course, she's been saying this for a few months, but she was extra pitiful, and I was feeling benovolent with my handyman powers.Took apart the traps to both sinks, I was feeling so powerful... but that wasn't enough, there was still gunk around the lifter lever things, but they're real easy to get off... one just wasn't easy to get back on, so I pulled the tailpiece off for a better look. Cheap plastic chinese threaded part was a little stripped, figured I could force everything back. An hour and a half later I had, ran some water and now it leaked around the drain. Got that apart and the plumber's putty crumbled out... kinda like the putty left in the tub in my plumber's kit...dang.Okay, time for a trip to the hardware store. Get in the truck, back up, notice Sherry hollering from the porch. I just ran over the dog. Dog isn't too pissed, doesn't try to bite me, and only limps a little. Two sinks are torn up, Carolina's playing dook, I've got to go. Ace is a lot closer than Lowe's, even if it is going to cost me. As I pulled into the parking lot, I saw a fresh load of 30 buck Xmas trees at Food Lion. Two birds with one stone, things are looking up.Ace has at least 10 different drain assemblies, but no single tailpiece with the flipper thing. I pick one for $8.49, not bad, even if the little tub of putty's 2 and a half beans. Checkout person's a trainee, but seems like a fast learner until the drain rings up for $19.95...whoa. Manager wants to charge me that, but grudgingly goes back to the rack to see if I'm just trying to get a deal. She feels like she has to take the sku number thing back to register, but can't get it off the hook. 15 mins later she verifies the price is $8.49.Get to Food Lion, find a tree, cut off the tag, and drop my knife in the tree. No amount of shaking, bopping, or hopping would get it out. Pay for the tree, try to rattle the knife out, then just start hauling the tree to the truck. Halfway there, I hear the knife fall out in the parking lot thruway. Get to the truck, balance the tree, open the back, tree slides right in, nice. I go back to find the knife, being on the lookout for any driving dogs, and there it is, and it hasn't even been run over...yeees.Get back to the house, and the dog actually comes up to the truck to see me. Inside, Carolina's losing to dook, but I've got plumbing parts, which eventually do all fit together watertightly. Dook misses two fieldgoals, Carolina comes back, the dog lays in front of the woodstove, and I haven't missed dinner, but I still hate plumbing. How can anything that looks so easy, take $300 of my time? Now, after you break your toilet, look on Craig's List for an old hi volume mother<G> Winterlude, Winterlude, my little daisy,
Winterlude by the telephone wire,
Winterlude, it's makin' me lazy,

Man I looked at it today. I don't really think about it too much until I have to use it. Then I remember, "Oh yeah I need to fix that before it backs up and runs all over my feet." But then I'm so grossed out by what I just dropped in there that I don't want anything to do with it.
So I finally drained it and found some rubber gloves and stuck my hand up inside of it. (Reminded me of a doc digging a kid out.) No luck. So I got a coat hanger out and straightened it. Started trying to get that coat hanger up in there as far as I could. (Reminded me of a midnight abortionist )which is what I was trying to do. Still no luck. By this time the wife needed to use it again. So I filled it full of water and walked away. She screamed when she sat down. In all my shaking and wiggling I had moved the plastic shims. Now it's all wobbly. I hate plumbing more then you. After she used it and flushed it, it was still clogging up.
Now I'm all grossed out again. I'm gonna be out of town all week, so it won't bug me again until next Friday. I don't want to just yank it out and put a new one in today because I have like twelve garbage bags full of leaves and an old door sitting out by the curb for the garbage man already. It just wouldn't look right if I stuck a toilet on top of the pile.
I can't wait to move into this new house. It will have three bathrooms. I can just seal them off as they break down. It will be years before I have to fix any plumbing. :)

I have the slightest idea of what my schedule will be so I don't want to plan anything yet.But I did not make it to Mazzoni's last year. My niece and husband usually go with me, but they are divorcing.I don't know of anyplace else to get GOOD rolled oysters. The Lousille chain see food restraunt (can't remember the name) used to have them, but they wheren't that good.http://www.epinions.com/trvl-review-2A25-A86040C-38E38B88-prod4" Restaurants that have been in business for more than a century are rare. Louisville, Kentucky has two. The better known of the two is Mazzoni's Cafe, located at 2804 Taylorsville Road, across from Bowman Field. The original Mazzoni's Cafe opened at Third and Market Streets in 1884.During the last quarter of the nineteenth century bars often offered "free" food to entice their liquor patrons to stay a while longer. Mazzoni's was unique in offering an entirely new "comfort food" item (invented by the restaurant's founder, Phillip Mazzoni)...the rolled oyster. Made only with Chesapeake Bay oysters, the rolled oyster is about the size of your fist and consists of a cracker crumb batter that is rolled around four or five oysters and deep fried. The outside of the rolled oyster turns a lovely golden brown, but inside the oysters are bursting from the heat and permeating the breading with the taste and smell of fresh oysters.When prohibition became the law of the land in 1919, Mazzoni's Cafe was able to survive the ban against selling liquor because the reputation of their rolled oysters had spread all over the city. Many patrons came not for the drinks and bar talk, but for the rolled oysters and white bean soup. The "free" rolled oysters that had accompanied each beer for more than thirty years, were now two for a nickel. Mazzoni's prospered during prohibition and a new generation of Louisvillians patronized the small downtown cafe.Mazzoni's became one of the three or four most popular downtown "lunch" locations during the years between the two world wars. Mayors, Judges, politicians, prominent businessmen, cops, and shoppers filled the restaurant daily. Tommy Long, the "sizzling Southpaw" a famous Louisville baseball player best known for striking out Babe Ruth three times in one day, became a co-owner in 1942 and managed the restaurant until 1966. "I remember the market st location. And the only reason that the healt department let them stay in business was the free booze.The new place is only slightly better. But that adds to the flavor..

I once had dealings with a blocked toilet. Being late in the afternoon at the weekend one guy laid down his beer and decided that the only way to clear it was to stick a fire hose down it. We watched from a distance as pink toilet paper and water exploded into the room. The blockage was shifted. We used the firehose, at a reduced pressure, to clean the man.
SNORK!

Depends on where it's caught, but likely you need an auger with an open tip that'll snag the toothbrush. Worst case you won't be able to remove it at all, even with the toilet removed.
Here's a typical toilet gooseneck. Obviously the most likely place for the toothbrush to hang up is that area in the back that's inaccessible.
View Image
If it is just a toothbrush and he can't snag it, if he will turn it upside down, tie a sinker or other similar smooth weight to a stout cord. Drop it through from bottom, tie a small rag (making sure it is small enough to pass-sort of like other things that pass) to the other end, making sure it is tied very securely and enough leftover cord to pull it back if it gets stuck.
Pull it through towards the bowl, it should get it out. I have used a cut-off washing machine hose pushed through from bottom also.
Now that I've got a good look at it I think it's a conspiracy that they make the last section so crooked.
If you had a Testo 318-V video inspection scope, you could actually see it in there :)
Of course the Ridgid snake scope would get in there for a look for $199.
Or I guess a fella could seal a small camera in plastic, attach a string, set up a 10 sec delay, and flush it down the toilet, hoping to get the right angle!
this all sounds like too much work.
why not just plan on selling the house ...
maybe think about having new built?
don't take the chance on buying used ...
former owners may have a toothbrush stuck in one of the toilets.

Run out about 4 to 6 feet of floss and flush it -- one or more times (while holding onto one end of course!).
That stuff gets into areas a brush can't. Should then just be a fishing/retrieval operation.
Cheers!
:-)
Matter of fact, talking about fishing, may want to tie some small treble hooks to that dental floss before flushing them -- possibly several times.
Cheers!

Had this same toothbrush fiasco happen by the ex-wife 20 years ago. She mentions she dropped it after the damn crapper is backing up with toilet paper and her poop.
Was unable to free the toothbrush with a snake. So I bailed out the toilet and the tank (woundn't you know a new one of those blue tablets was disolving in the tank?). Anyway after staining my hands trying to remove the blue tablet, I pulled the bowl off the flange. The toothbrush had neatly seated itself at the bottom opening of the porcelean flange opening. I had to push it up and sideways to get it out.
Yuck.

Today I tackled my fears and phobias. I Pulled the Toilet! I took it out in the backyard and turned it upside down took the hose to it, And sprayed the #### out of it. Nothing came out. I decided I needed a new flange, and I had to go number 1 so I went to Lowes and picked one up, and dropped some off. Got back, put the whole thing together. The wife got home from work and gave it a try. She says it still isn't flushing right. :( I haven't actually tested it with "product" of my own and I din't want to have to look at hers so I took her word for it. She might be expecting more I don't know. I'll test it after dinner. But for now I have to believe her.
I called my brother who works for a plumbing contractor and asked him. WTF? He said something has to be stuck in there. He said that he would come over and pull it this weekend and snake it with his closet snake.
I know your asking me why I didn't call him sooner. My wife did have him come over and look at it the other day. He said that he would pull it and take care of it this weekend. I was trying to save him the trouble.

The next time you have it off, maybe you could try running a rope through it, tie a rag to the rope and pull it back through. If anything is in there, that should snag it. Play it safe and tie a rope to the other end of the rag... if it gets stuck, at least you can pull it back out.

Simple test to see if it is a drainage problem or a flushing problem.Get a bucket with about 3 gals of water in it. And dump it into the toilet.If the drain and vent are clear it will quickly flush. If it does then something is imhibiting the flow of water into the bowl. Likely limed up rim holes or jet hole. But I have heard of cases with the remain of a "cleaning cake" down in the jet and even a penny..

A-holes. Hey every group has to have one. And I have been elected to be the one. I should make that my tagline.

Learned this trick from Tim Mooney. He would dry the stool out, duct tape around the underside flange(to plug the holes) and then dump some muriatic acid(he might have suggested dissolving it with some water but I used it full strength) down the tank, that stuff will eat up any built up lime. I don't remember how long he left the stuff sit, I left it there "just long enough", cant really say but I think you'd get a feel for it!
You could also use some down the shoot to dissolve any build up in there.
I've used this method from Mooney and it will make an old plugged up stool new again.
Caution, this stuff is caustic, among other things its used to clean the mortar off of bricks.
Doug
did it eat up all the gaskets and seats in the tank???

Nope but it rusted the nearby steel in the blink of an eye and left the aluminum with corrosion pits.
They can't get your Goat if you don't tell them where it is hidden.
Nope, but maybe its a timming thing and I got lucky.
Tim says that he does it all the time, dont recall if he has had any problems with the seals/gaskets. If I could make this damn search function work properly I'd dig up the thread where Tim explained the process but we all know that aint gonna happen!
I did pour my solution strait through the tank hole to avoid any problems,(trying to miss the rubber gaskets) I though the same thing when I did this because if the acid will take mortar off the brick I'd figure it would melt away a simple rubber gasket. I had zero problems.
I've only did it twice so I'm no expert, have to check with the Mooney Man!
Lye is more likely to damage the rubber. Reasonably mild acid won't harm it, with brief exposures. Acid will, of course, corrode metal.

Believe it or not this toilet is about ten or eleven years old. I was on the road in Wyoming and the sewer got plugged up. I called my brother (not the plumber brother) and asked him if he could take care of it. This is my Nephew Kodys Dad. So he and Kody are there and they dump some chemicals into it. Kody was chatting with me on AOL instant messenger and Timbo is watching TV. He dumps some stuff in it and watches TV until the commercial break. Goes back and sees it still ain't flowing so he dumps some different stuff in it. Goes back to the TV. Another commercial break and nothing going on. Dumps some more stuff. Kody and I are chit chatting when he types in "Oh #### your toilet just went boom." Then he signed off. No explanation or nothing. The bad thing is my wife walked in the door about two minutes before it blew and was talking to my brother who was bragging about unclogging the toilet. It didn't explode blew up. It cracked right up the side and disintegrated like one of those buildings when they implode them. Just fell down around itself.
Of course my wife starts yelling at him. He's a chauvinist to the max and demands an apology. Then he threatens to leave if she doesn't shut up. Which only escalates her yelling fit. Then she calls me. There I am out in the middle of Wyoming trying to mediate between these two who are ready to kick each others azzes. It's a family classic at holidays now. At the time it wasn't. I actually felt a little guilty when I went and took a dump later.
Anyway I had to tell you that, to tell you this. I'm a little paranoid about using chemicals in the toilet. The thought of muratic acid in the toilet scares me.

I used to use it back in the lifeguarding days and it's some powerful stuff. Goggles, mask and gloves would be a good move. It will take the top layer off of you.

VICTORY!
My big bro came over this morning with a new toilet and put it in. $25.00 for the toilet. Not bad eh?
And there WAS a Damn toothbrush in there. I pulled the old toilet while he was building the new one. I took it out in the back yard and gave it a tap with a hammer and volia there it was nestled up in the bendy things. I'm glad I didn't dump the chemicals in it now. You ought to see this new one flush. Pure poetry in motion man.
I got so excited when I found it that I took it in to show the wife. I put it back in the approximate place I found it for the picture. The parties over. sigh.... I'm gonna kind of miss it.

Had a similar situation myself about 25-30 years ago. Except no one confessed to losing a toothbrush.
Toilet was flushing poorly. Decided to lift it and auger out the line below. Did that with little satisfaction. Finally moving the toilet from the lawn to put it back, accidentally tipped it over and a tooth brush, draped with paper, fell out. Removing the TB definitely is the solution! Still no idea where the TB came from to this day.
Good luck. I think just replacing the toilet might be the easiest.
