New to this forum and glad I found it. My wife and last month bought a 16 year old house. We had it inspected and everything passed. However, from almost day one, we've had a problem with the toilet in the master bath. With liquids it flushes with no problem, but with solids and toilet paper it might flush a couple days or a week fine then stop flushing. The bowl will fill with water and not go down or after a couple of hours it will "seep" down. When it is like this, I've tried a plunger and you can hear it "gurgleing" in the toilet, but nothing happens. We've had a plumber out three times now and this last time he pulled the toilet and checked it out and found nothing. He also has run the snake down the line and found nothing. As he told me...everything is running and draining like it is supposed to. He also said it was a "hybrid" toilet...between the old "swirl" toilts and the new "stream" toilets. That is does both. Not sure what that means, but thought I'd throw it in. Well it is three days later and this morning the same problem. I was able after about 45 minutes of plunging to get everything working. What could the problem be? Do toilets wear out? The other toilet and all the sinks and tubs drain very well...its just this one. I know the plumber is as tired of seeing me as I am of seeing him! Let me also say, when it does flush right it flushes! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
