I've had two rental properties for about 10 years. I've done all the plumbing repairs myself, so I've got more hands on experience than the average do-it-yourselfer. I have one toilet that hasn't been flushing properly for at least a month. When it's flushed, the bowl fills up and will drain slowly, with no force. We removed the toilet twice, and snaked the pipe really well. Flushed lots of water down, with no resistance. Re-installed the toilet and had the same problem. Then, (because I'm frustrated with it) we put the snake right down through the toilet, to make sure it wasn't a clog within the toilet. Still flushes the same. My husband thinks we need to replace the toilet. I don't see how that cN help. There are no parts in the toilet bowl part to go bad, and I don't want to buy a new one and still have the problem. Any tips or advice from people who've run into this would be appreciated. I really can't afford a plumber right now. Thanks somuch for all the good insight! I guess I know what I'm doing (again) this weekend, but at least maybe I can accomplish something this time. I'll definitely check the vents, buti'd lime to also know more about this p-trap thing. I'm not familiar with it. Thank you all!! All are really great answers. Thanks so much!!
