Thanks for the attack on a DIY public forum. Anyway, the way I see it, I paid $1000 for a $400 job ($100 in material). Stop ripping people off, I'll stop being "cheap".

Cut the pipes, fixed the grading, put fernco in between old and new (had to) , bam it's fixed... Plumber had to take the master toilet (closest to the 90 elbow going down) out to redo the angles. $1000 cash job (neighbor's uncle) = well discounted He said normally it'd cost $1800 but would...

Yes. I hope this post helps those with this weird problem I have been having. I'll update once it is fixed.

The house was unoccupied for 3 years. When it was de-winterized it had leaks so a contractor (not sure if a plumber) from the bank replaced the ABS pipes. He says he did not change anything, just replaced what was bad but I don't know if I want to believe it. I also saw drywall screws in the...

UPDATE: Ok made a hole in the ceiling. The grading is the culprit here. Some (or most) of the water (and waste) potentially roll backwards to this toilet and that is the water I see when I pull the toilet. I snaked the heck out of the line hoping it would clear but nothing. I pumped all the...

Both toilets are on the 2nd floor. I should also mention they appear to be "back to back" ( CORRECTION, they are not plumbed back to back.. see post #16 https://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/head-scratching-toilet-flush-problem-already-replaced-toilet.63650/#post-473282 ) The wall...

It goes down as I pour. Water gets sucked out of the toilet bowl. It does this 9/10 times. After a flush with big waste, it stops flushing correctly. I've dumped at least 5x10 gallons of hot water and went on top of the roof with a hose once...no fixes yet. I still think there's a trap there...

UPDATE: I pulled the toilet (which i hate by the way American Standard 1.28 gallon Cadet 3 = will be returning this junk) Anyway I snaked the line and cleared it, although it did not feel like a terrible clog, one or two forward motions and it was clear. Get this, there is a trap in the waste...

Why would this be the only toilet acting this way? I have 1 more on this floor and 1 downstairs that work fine. All other drains work good as well. This toilet is probably the closest to the vent stack

Some facts: Bought this house recently. Problem has been there since the beginning. - Toilet bowl would try to fill but empty then gurgle when it reached as low as it could go. - When flushed, water would rush into the bowl from the lower jet but would not flush down the drain. - I decided to...

I would just throw it away but it is a 2'" PVC ball valve fitting so I'd like to save it if I can. I used the purple primer and put it into a pipe. I'll try getting it off tomorrow, but can I sand the fitting and reuse it ? Thanks

The bottom of the basin is broken.. what a POS..

I'm going to order this pump. Has anyone on here used one? If so, what brand basin are you using? http://tramcopump.com/ResidentialDetails.cfm?ProdID=27 The spec sheet: http://www.tramcopump.com/assets/FlashPapers/400SEBrochure.swf

The lines come down from the upper floor. I can just cut that line and hook up to a basin sitting on top of the floor. But I think I've decided to go with a Tramco 400SE series pump with a new basin

EDIT: ALL DONE http://imgur.com/a/NlUCu THANK YOU Just bought this home 3 days ago REO property - Fixing this thing first so I can poop and shower. I took off the lid today and saw that the lip has broken off and cracked in a few places. I wanted to take it out or place a smaller basin...
