I'm having problems with my toilet flushing (very slow, no gurgling/bubbling) and it has to be a restriction in the drain or the toilet itself is screwed up. I tried getting a drain snake down the toilet but the trap runs from back to front which, evidently is an awkward enough position to keep me from getting the snake very far in it.
My question is, before i start looking for a new toilet, i want to make sure the plumbing is clear and the only way to do that is to remove the toilet and run the snake through it that way.
Now, it's almost 11pm. Walmart is a 30 minute drive to get a wax seal. The wax seal is at most a year old. I know the smartest thing is to put a new one on but if i can save the trip with minor chances of it leaking then i'm willing to give it a shot.
What do you guys think?
P.S. It's been acting up for a few months now and yes, i've plunged it hundreds of times which almost never helped.
