Toilets & Seats

NOTE: Older toilets used the force from a greater volume of water to remove waste, while newer toilets require adequate venting to remove waste.

The following symptoms are signs of a clogged waste stack or vent pipe:

• Water rising in the toilet bowl

• Slow flush (bowl water rises quickly, but falls slowly)
  Frequent clogs

• Having to hold the handle down to get a proper flush

• Sounds coming from other drains in the area when the toilet is flushed

• Bubbles coming from the trapway opening during the flush
