We have an older toilet in the bedroom bath that has for several months not flushed completely. We have a new toilet put in 2 years ago that was working fine but in the last week or so is having the same problem.
My wife says we need the septic tanks cleaned but I don't think so. All other drains work fine, the sinks, the showers, the bathtub. I don't want to spend $400 and dig up the yard if that's not the problem.
I tried plunging and it didn't help. The water doesn't back up it just doesn't flush the tp out.
I asked my neighbor and he said to check the holes under the rim where the water comes out. So this morning I did on the new one. It only had about 6 holes at the front. I stuck my finger in one and some blue goo came out. It looks like some of my wife's blue stuff she puts in the toilet was stuck in a hole. Nothing came out of the other holes. I put some toilet paper in and it seemed to flush better.
Do you think that's the problem? Do you think there's a bunch of blue toilet stuff stuck in the rim preventing full water flow?
She uses this in both toilets all the time. Thx for any info
