Q: I have a rental property where a toilet seems to be clogged off and on. Is this the kind of repair that I can do by myself?
A: You can buy an auger at a hardware store for about $15 and run it through the trap in the toilet to see if that works. Maybe something is caught in the trap — like a child’s toy. If that doesn’t help, you might need to call a plumber.
