We are a houseful of women, and need some direction on a problem with one of our toilets. House is 30 years old, no problems prior to this. Toilet has been flushing slower over the past few months, until it clogged finally. Plunged, would clear and then stop again. It has gotten progressively slower flushing and the plunger is used every time. Nothing else is blocked, all drains empty including the other master toilet. I tried dish detergent and hot water which I read online - no laughter please. It didn't work. I have a home warranty, so called them. Last week a plumber came out and used an auger, which seemed to work. Within a few days it was doing the same thing, called back. He came again and this time he showed me a few roots on the auger. That isn't covered by my home warranty. Said he would have to remove the toilet and snake the drain which would be $300. He came back and did that 2 days ago. Said he ran it about 15 feet. It flushed good for a day or so, now it is slow again. What is my next step? He said there was nothing wrong with the toilet, which if there was something wrong would be replaced by my home warranty. Again, everything else is draining fine. Showers, washing machine, kitchen all work. Help!
