I have a cement slab house with back to back toilets ( hall and back bedroom ). The bedroom toilet works fine as does all of the rest of the plumbing in the house. The only problem is this hall toilet. There is a Palm tree adjacent to this part of the house and I did pull some Palm tree roots out of this toilet with a 3 foot toilet auger ( after fully inserting it ). My question is about the flushing pattern observed with this hall toilet. One flush the bowl fills and only SLIGHTLY empties.The next flush the bowl fills then slowly but COMPLETELY empties. The water level in the bowl returns to slightly below the normal resting level. This alternating flushing pattern occurs every time the toilet is tested. No deviation from this alternating flushing pattern. What type of blockage or other problem would create this type of flushing pattern ? Thanks much for any help.
