I'll try and make this short. American Standard - 4.5 years old.
Problem seemed to get gradually worse over time.
MBR (first floor) toilet will not flush. Water rises in bowl, some swirling, but will not "swallow" anything.
- I've snaked the bowl. I've removed the bowl and flushed with water outside. Nothing found.
- I've replace everthing in the tank. Tank drains in 3 to 4 seconds into the bowl. That's about what my others do in the house. (3 other toilets in home are normal, two upstairs, one on first floor).
- I've snaked the exhaust vent on the roof 25' (two story home on crawlspace). That's as long as my snake is. Nothing found.
- I've cleaned out all the small holes under the rim of the bowl with a paper-clip. Didn't find anything there either.
- The 4" pipe under the bowl looked like it was installed yesterday, clean and no standing water as far as I could see (about 3 feet straight down). Did not snake this pipe as I think if there was a blockage here the water would back up.
I'm at a total loss on why this toilet will not flush. Any help would be appreicated.
Thanks,
