    Weak toilet flush, obstruction in vent?

    I believe the manufacture date was 2005 or 2006 that I recall beings stamped somewhere on the toilet, so I think it was part of the "good" generation of water saver toilets. I did break it open, and found nothing at all in the trap. No dead squirrel, not even minor buildup. Still very...

    Weak toilet flush, obstruction in vent?

    Update: Decided to go for a new toilet and see what happens. Much to my surprise, I seem to have a winner now. I will be taking a sledgehammer to the old one and report my findings. Unless a squirrel crawled up the trap and died while I had it set up in the backyard, I'm really not sure what...

    Weak toilet flush, obstruction in vent?

    Hello everyone. I'm really close to calling a professional, but I wanted to throw this one out there because it's been really unique. I am but a simple homeowner, but have dealt with a thing or two. This one is weird. Background: 1) I have a "basement" (bottom floor on try-level) toilet that...
