I just purchased a new home, which has two relatively new identical toilets in the two bathrooms. The home was a "short sale" (bank owned), which took so long, that the toilets (and everything else) had not been used in 6-12 months (or possibly even longer, it is hard to get any information about anything from the sellers since they are losing money on the deal, i.e. unmotivated).
In both toilets, I have needed to use the plunger on more than one occasion.
Since this is happening in both toilets, my thought was that it might be due to lack of use.
Is this a possibility ? If so, is there a DIY fix, or do I need to call a plumber ?
( I am specifically not mentioning anything about the brand or model of toilet, because I do not want the focus to be on whether it is or is not a good performing model. )
