Hi there-
My toilet is slow to drain, yesterday it overflowed- plunging does not seem to make water go down, just time does- nothing was flushed down there to my knowledge- just paper- what could the solve the problem- buying a plumbing snake-

A few months agon a toy was flushed down the upstairs toilet- plumber was called to solve the problem all- has been well- could the two be related?

Thanks- Lisa

The two could easily be related. Did the plumber retrive the toy or just open the line? The toy could now be in you main drain below both toilets. The lower toilet will be the only one to overflow.

Hi everyone - thanks for the help- I went out and bought a toilet snake and retrieved a paper cup that was causing the problem- - saved myself the cost of a plumber- and I feel great! No more paper cups while I have three kids in the house-! Good day!
