Having a Choked Toilet?

Having a choked toilet bowl can be fustrating. I most cases thou, the water will stop running before it overflows. Most toilet bowl are design in such a way that the entire contents of the tank is held within without overflowing.That's only IF the water level in the bowl was at its normal height before the toilet was flushed, and the ballcock and flapper are working properly and shut off when the tank is full.

This is why if you have a choked toilet bowl, and as the water level rises without flushing away the contents, it is important to not panic.

In most cases, the user would push the flush buttong over and over again in hope of flushing the content away. All this does is raise the water level even more.
