This is my first post and if it's in the wrong section, please move it.
I've got a toilet flush problem. The house is 15 years old and the problem just started about 2 years ago and seems to be getting worse as time goes on.
What happens is when the toilet is flushed it doesn't empty until it's flushed a second time and it does this whether there's anything in it to flush or not, ie, no waste or toilet tissue, same problem. It doesn't do this all the time, but does about 90% of the time. There are two toilets in the house that dump in the main line a short distance apart. The other toilet only requires a second flush OCCASIONALLY when there's something in it, which is what the both did when they were new.
Recently I bought one of those toilet augers and ran it down both toilets and got nothing when I pulled it back yet the flush problem is still there. I've adjusted the float and flapper valve settings to put more water in the flush and still no difference.
I never have any gray water backup in the tub or shower and the sinks, tub and shower seem to drain fine.
Any help?
Thanks
