Hello. I have a 2 story colonial house- 8 years old.
Recently, we've noticed that the downstairs toilet is indeed flushing the waste away, but it sometimes takes 2 flushes to ensure that all the waste is removed from the bowl.
Also, the flushing process itself sounds different, because the action is not the same as it used to be. Often, the water in the bowl will not all flush out and make that typical 'fully emptying' noise before refilling with fresh water. Rather, the water leaving and then entering will perform more of a blending exchange.
THERE IS NO DETECT OF SEWAGE ODOR in the house. My health department sanitarian friends say that it could be a possible partially blocked roof vent pipe, causing the vacuum effect to not function properly.
Any ideas? THANK YOU!!!
