    Toilet water rises
    When I flush my toilet the water rises very high, but does not recede immediately. When it finally does the tank is either empty or left w/little water. If I flush again, the same thing happens, how do I get the toilet to flush normally? I'm not a plumbing queen and truly don't know what to do, but feel it must be something easy I can do.

    Hi nantucket
    U have a blockage in the toilet that is stopping the flow of water. Have u tried a plunger?

    Flush toilet and before it gets too low use the plunger a couple of times. If this does not work then the blockage is probably caused by a solid object. If u have childern in house it could be one of their toys. A toilet snake may break the object up and free the water.

    Good luck
