We have been having some recent problems lately with our Crane toilet. Periodically it gets backed up and yes we do have a plunger on had at all times. I live in a condo and the plumbing contractor told us it could be the sewer backing up. We had it snaked not to long ago by an independent plumber and the problem goes away but then it starts up again and the problem still persists. The independent plumber actually put his had in the toilet and said the pipe seems to be on an incline versus a decline and that could be the problem. Does that mean the toilet design is flawed? Or the pipe not installed correctly? After about a half hour of plunging we can typically get it to flush properly.
I have read through some of the threads and see Crane as being infamous for these types of problems. Do anyone know if there was a recall on these toilets or does anyone have the model numbers for those Crane toilets they replaced? Would you recommend that we just replace the toilet?
Given that the condo was recently built in the last year, I cant believe its a sewer problem. By the way the condo is in Chicago and I also read that Crane has a big supplier there. The plumbing supplier was Franks Mechanical.
