Hi All,
I have been having come issues with my toilet at home and I first wanted to see if I could sort it out myself before I called a plumber.
The problem:
When I flush the toilet the bowl fills up with water and slowly drains.
Other information:
About 1 meter from the toilet, outside the house, I am able to open the lid of the main toilet outlet and see the toilet water flowing down slowly after flushing. This tells me the blockage is in the toilet and not the main drain.
What I have tried so far:
1: Plunger (hard to find one that actually works!)
2: Auger (from Bunnings)
3: Adding dish washing liquid and filling the toilet with warm water (hopefully loosening the build up)
Before I call in a plumber, is there anything I should be trying?
Look forward to hearing from you guys.
Regards,
Robbie
