My Downstairs Toilet won’t flush, the sink and washer will drain fine.
The Upstairs toilet works fine along with the sing and tub drain.
What I have done so far:
Plunged the toilet, no help
Took the toilet off the floor and ran a snake through the toilet from the bottom there was nothing in it.
I Ran the hose in the drain pipe and the water continuously went down.
I also put the hose down in the drain about 5 feet and the water still sat at the same level.
I Ran the hose in the toilet and the water went through enough that the toilet didn’t fill up.
The Toilet will flush sitting on a bucket in the garage.
The toilet will flush if you loosen the bolts and tip the toilet sideways letting air in.
I only have one roof vent so I am assuming that the upstairs and downstairs toilets are both on the same vent. Even though the upstairs toilet flushes fine I went on the roof with a hose. The hose went down 15 feet before stopping (15 ft is from my eves to the ground in my raised ranch). I ran the hose for over ten minutes and the water never showed any sign of building up, it just kept going down.
I need to add that I had this same problem over a year ago, I replaced the toilet with this new one and now the same thing is happening. I already cleaned out the tiny holes under the rim and the spout on the bottom has pressure. Besides the fact that the toilet will flush when you pull the toilet up to let air in the system.
