Put on rubber gloves and safety glasses. Ensure the room is ventilated. Turn off the water supply to the urinal (usually a small valve on the wall behind it).
When in doubt, call a plumber. A $150 service call is cheaper than replacing a pipe melted by chemicals or fixing water damage from a leak. Have you ever had a "urinal nightmare" story? Share your horror stories in the comments below!
If you have a solid yellow rock blockage that a snake won't break, buy a professional . Just remember: respect the acid.
You cannot treat a clog if the bowl is full. Use a small cup or a wet/dry vacuum to suck out the stagnant water.
Let’s be honest: Nobody wants to be the person standing in front of a urinal that is filled to the brim with stagnant water. Whether you manage a busy sports bar, a corporate office, or a gas station bathroom, a blocked urinal is an emergency. It smells bad, it looks unprofessional, and it stops business.
