If you’ve ever said, “My phone’s been through a lot,” we guarantee it hasn’t been through what this phone in Woodmere, NY went through. When a residential customer called Pipe Doctor Home Services about a toilet that wouldn’t flush, they had no idea the real blockage wasn’t a hairball, a Lego, or even a rogue roll of Charmin. No… it was a smartphone, and this thing went on a journey most people couldn’t survive. Luckily, Pipe Doctor brought the skills—and the laughs.
It All Started with a Gurgle…
The homeowner noticed their toilet wasn’t flushing quite right. The water would rise… and rise… and then threaten a full-blown floor flood. The plunger? Useless. Drain cleaner? Useless and a bad idea. It was time to call in the pros.
Enter Mikey Pipes and the team at Pipe Doctor Home Services—Woodmere’s favorite local plumber for saving homeowners from plumbing disasters (and embarrassment). They arrived promptly, tools in hand, boots on the ground, ready to battle whatever horror lurked beneath the porcelain.
Toilet Stoppage… or Hidden Treasure?
After some basic troubleshooting, it was clear this wasn’t your run-of-the-mill clog. The team shut off the water, unbolted the toilet, and carefully lifted it off the floor like a surgeon with a beating heart. And there it was…
A soaked, slightly smelly iPhone, wedged deep in the trap of the toilet, like a message in a bottle sent from the plumbing gods.
Now, you might be asking: “How does a phone end up in the toilet?”
We won’t name names, but let’s just say a curious toddler and an unlocked bathroom door were involved. And the homeowner’s frantic search for their “missing” phone earlier that morning suddenly made a lot more sense.
No Judgement. Just Solutions (and Giggles).
Once the heroic toilet surgery was complete, the techs reinstalled and sealed the throne back onto the flange, ensuring a watertight fit. They tested the flush (clean water, thankfully) and ran a few gallons through the line to confirm everything was flowing like Niagara Falls.
As for the phone? It was bagged, tagged, and returned to the red-faced homeowner. Will it ever turn on again? Only time (and a rice bath) will tell.
