Tennis Ball stuck in toilet

I got a tennis ball in my toilet and it got flushed and now its pretty clogged. I can't reach the ball with anything because its too far in. Anyone know how I can get the ball out?
 
The trick isn't to get it out. Just keep shoving things down there until the tennis ball is dislodged.

I don't see how a snake would get a tennis ball out. If that's what you were implying anyway.

Don't know, sounds like it's down pretty far. If he hasn't tried a plunger before making a thread all hope is lost. For him anyway.. Ha
 
Treat it like an unplanned pregnancy in the jungle. Stab the problem to poke a hole in it, then use a coat hanger to stick in the hole and drag the issue out where the dog can play with it.
 
Use the strong facial muscles you acquired over all the years of orally stimulating male genitalia in the back alley behind the local KFC to suck that badboy straight out.

Care to explain how you got a tennis ball in the toilet?

yeah I threw it at my roomate and then he tried to whip it at me, then it somehow went into the toilet as I flushed it, a bad experience so far.
 
If all else fails, you could stick some sort of explosive into your toilet, and cover it up with something; leaving the wick sticking out. Then use an air compressor to get as much air as possible into your home made combustion chamber. All you would have to do is light the wick, and the ball will go flying down the drain.

This might blow up your toilet, but if all else fails I guess it's worth a try.
 
just mix bleach and ammonia in your toilet, it will probably take care of the tennis ball.
 
If the coat hanger abortion; toilet style doesn't work (actually not a bad idea) try a plunger. If that doesn't work OP then you're probably fucked
 
Don't fuck with it and just call the landlord. The fact you made a thread means you are in no way handy enough to concur this on your own and will most likely only make the situation worse.

this is OP's best bet
 
I read this too fast and thought it said "Tanner Hall stuck in toilet" I was concerned...
 
take a couple massive shits in the toilet, let the shit marinate in the toilet for a couple of days then hopefully the shit is be potent enough to break down some of the rubber in the tennis ball, and unclogg ur shitter
 
Get a pressure washer and shove it down the shitter as far as you can, if a pressure washer can't force it down...nothing can
 
don't try and dissolve the fucking thing. anything that will dissolve a tennis ball will likely also destroy your pvc plumbing.

basically, you're taking your toilet apart. hang ass crack out of pants, turn water off, empty toilet, unbolt/cut if necessary the bolt on each side of toilet, break wax seal, remove toilet, scrape off wax from bottom of toilet and top of sewer line, remove tennis ball, replace wax seal (5 bucks at hardware store), replace toilet bolts (2 bucks), reattach, turn water back on, test flush, admire you amazing plumbing skills.

It should seriously only take like an hour to fix if you go to the hardware store first and get the replacement wax seal and bolts. The worst part is cleaning off the old wax seal once you remove the toilet . You need to get all of the old wax off so your new wax seal makes a proper seal. Otherwise you'll get fumes coming up in to your bathroom from the sewer line.

This is brilliant. 10/10
 
There's a few ways you can go for this.

Lower your good friend from the group club house with a pulley system. Make sure that when he grabs it he doesn't drop it because he gets scared.

If he does drop it, rig up a bunch of vacuum to a baseball glove and lower that down. Try not to get the pipe pinched because if that happens your club house is gonna blow up.

Lets say your club house just blew up? Gather all of your erector set pieces and build a mechanical catapult, drive it down from your club house into the toilet, then once you have the ball in the catapult, launch. Ideally the toilet won't jump up and eat the ball again.

If the toilet manages to eat your ball again... Get our your PF Fliers... and pickle the toilet.

You rent a rodding machine, not a hand snake, not a power snake, a rodding machine, with a bladed head or some other sort of cutting/grinding head.

They'll go through tree roots and shit, can't see a tennis ball standing a chance.

Might get lucky.. Or you might put it past the toilet into the the drain pipe. You get that thing into the floor your talking major repair.Cutting head isnt gonna shred a tennis ball,if anything its gonna push it farther if it does manage to tear it somehow you have large chucks of rubber that are gonna get stuck in the system of the house untill you get to it and take it out manually. Smartest move is to pull the shitter.
