Short version - Appears a rag got into the toilet drain and gone down. Wondering if I need to do anything more at this point.
long version - We were have floor renovations done in the hall bath and the toilet was out so I had a diaper rag in the drain hole (to keep stuff out, gas back). Floor guy must have tucked it in more to get it out of his way. Appears it got sucked down when adjacent toilet (Toto Drake 1.6) flushed and created some backup.
As we were trying to figure out what was going on, wound up flushing that adjacent toilet a few times. It backed up after 3 rapid flushes. Did this cycle twice then it appeared to clear. At this point no backup.
I ran a small snake in to about 8 ft and pipe appears to be clear to point where it heads down from second floor. I'm not seeing any more backup but I wondering if I'm just delaying issues. Do I need to do anything to try to get that rag out?
