Hoping for some help with this. We have a 2.5 bath house. The toilet in the master bath (on the second floor) is not draining properly. All other toilets, showers, and sinks drain with no issues, including a toilet on the other side of the wall from the toilet we are struggling with.
Here is what has been done so far in an effort to find the source and solution:
1. Plunger - No luck
2. Toilet Auger - No luck
3. Removed the toilet and found the water is not draining down the line. Tried a lengthy pipe snake, it hits either a blockage that I can't clear or a turn that I can't seem to navigate.
Based on what we see above, my questions will center on number 3.
Any suggestions for how to clear the apparent blockage?
I have read that a vent blockage can cause drain problems. Is that possible to be the source if other toilets, showers, sink are draining without issue?
Is it OK to use a small powered auger of some type in those PVC drains?
Thanks for any advice!
