Is it time for a Plumber or can I try taking toilet apart?
It partially flushes, but water almost overflows before I shut it off. I need help! Thanks you for your comments!
Additional Details
THANKS FOR THE PAST SUGGESTIONS EVERYONE! I TRIED THE WIRE HANGER AND I HAD AHOLD OF IT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A WHOOSH SUCTION SOUND AND ALL THE WATER WAS GONE. DOES IT MEAN IT'S STUCK WAY DOWN NOW? STILL READY TO OVER FLOW WHEN I FLUSH. I'M GLAD WE HAVE 2 BATHROOMS! SHOULD I TAKE THE TOILET APART? OR IS IT TOO FAR DOWN BY NOW? I CAN'T AFFORD ONE, BUT IS IT PLUMBER TIME?
Answers:
If you have a trap door on your pipe turn off your toilet water..
Open the trap door
Run a drain snake through the trap door toward the toilet
Just maybe the toy is where the door is if your lucky..
If the snake doesn't do the trick
Try dumping a pail of water in the toilet
If this doesn't work
Call The Plummer

You can get a snake at the local hardware store for fairly inexpensive, I think we paid 10 dollars. I have a 3 year old son and it's paid for itself many times over already lol. Good Luck! :)
try using a plunger, but that might force it further down the pipe. if you are able to take the piping apart without damaging it, then i think you should try. if the plumbing is under your home and you cant crawl under then call a plumber.
You will need to get a new wax ring. Take the toilet up you should be able to get the toy out then
I would think it depends on where the toy is stuck. If you have someone to help you, it's not extrememly difficult to take a toilet off the floor. My husband and I replaced a toilet without any problem and we've never done anything with plumbing before. I would just make sure to buy a new wax seal if you do- I don't know if you can reuse the old one but I wouldn't think it would work right. They're only a few dollars at Home Depot. Here is some instructions on how to do it- just see if you can reach the toy with a hanger or something from the bottom.
If I turn the "FAN ON" in my centralized a/c, would it be costly OR is it ok if I turn them ON both same time?
