Just so, are the toilet and sink connected?
Instead, plumbers connect drain lines in the floor beneath the bathroom and install a common vent that allows water and waste to drain without forming an airlock. The toilet has the largest drainpipe, so the sink drain, which is smaller in diameter, will empty into the toilet drain line.
Secondly, will a toilet eventually unclog itself? Absolutely. Well, a clogged drain line can clear itself, given enough height of standing effluent. If the toilet's trap itself is clogged, sometimes, if you fill the water to near the top of the bowl it will unclog, but that would be more of a case of the water softening the stool until the flush can finish.
Furthermore, how do you unclog a toilet when a plunger won't work?
Plunger Alternative: Try This Mixture As an alternative to using dish soap and no plunger, try this all-natural solution: Pour 1 cup baking soda and 2 cups vinegar into the toilet. Allow it fizz for a half hour. If clog doesn't dissipate, try the hot water trick.
When I flush my toilet water comes up in my sink?
If your toilets, kitchen sink and tub or shower are all backed up, you probably have a clogged sewer line. When you flush the toilet, water backs up into or comes up in the tub or shower. When your sewer line is clogged, the water can't go down the drain.
