Hot Tip Saves Toilet Removal

Ryan Gomiela, co-owner of Gomiela Plumbing Services (GPS Plumbing) in Melbourne, Florida, hates pulling and resetting toilets.When a customer called to say their daughter tossed toys down the bowl, Gomiela tried retrieving them with a closet auger, but without success. Pumping water out of the bowl, he heated the auger head with a torch, carefully put the auger in until it reached the toy, spun the head a few times and waited for the smell of burning plastic. After about 10 minutes, the toy was easily retrieved.Posting on the Plumbers Alert Facebook page, Gomiela says his “hot tip” saves time and
