    Clog toilet
    My toilet will not flush properly. It runs OK for a few days then it clogs,I use a snake and it takes a while to unclog. Then its OK for a while.

    Can I use a garden hose to maybe unclog it. I have even changed the toilet and it will last for a while then the problems re- occurs.

    Thank You

    Is there a bubble that comes up in the bowl after you flush? If you've replaced the toilet and you still have the same problem then there's a blockage further on down the line. The only solution might be to pull the toilet and snake the toilets drain line. Good luck, Tom
