Keep things running smoothly with an effective plunger at the ready

Plungers might be one of the most underrated household essentials. You often don’t think about whether you have or need one until an emergency arises. Don't be caught without a trusty drain plunger at the ready. Kmart's selection of plungers will ensure you're never caught in an emergency situation that could result in a flooded bathroom and an expensive call to the plumber. Kmart's affordable plungers will save the day, without all the hassle.

We would all rather not have to deal with a clogged toilet. Before you panic and reach for a plumbing auger, give a toilet plunger a try. It's often strong enough to get the job done. It's a good idea to keep one in every bathroom so that it's at the ready when you need it.

A toilet plunger alone is a very helpful tool, you'll also want a plunger that fits into a special receptacle and keeps it stored sanitarily away from other bathroom items. Luckily, Kmart carries some great plunger models that come with canisters to store them in when they are not in use. Choose from great solutions such as attractive nickel-plated canisters or crisp, white plunger caddies that will keep your plungers neatly and discreetly tucked away from sight. When the job is bigger than your plunger can handle, though, you'll want to have specialty plumbing tools like a plumbing shut-off key on hand so that you can work on the issue without worrying about flooding.

It's likely that you are using the wrong shape of plunger to fix your problem. The classic cup plunger is great for sinks, baths and showers, but not for toilets. You should instead use plunger flange type, which has an extended rubber lip sticking out of the bottom. The modified shape gives a more effective seal over the toilet for optimum vacuum force and it limits slippage and splashing. Before you reach for your pipe cutting tools out of frustration, be sure that you are using the right plunger for the job.

Whether you need it for your toilet or for your drains and sinks, having a plunger in every bathroom in the home is an affordable necessity. Trust Kmart to help you get the job done right, every time.
