Our toilet has been having this problem for a few months and the more we try to fix it the worse it seems to be. Initially it looked like it was a bit blocked somewhere and when we flush the water will come up (but not enough to come out), doesn't flush stuff down properly, and goes down slowly. Sometimes it worked fine though.
We've tried plungers, clothes hangers, and things in the picture and now it's worse - the water has come out of the rim and gone to the floor. It even doesn't stop and continue to flow. I had to turn off the tap or whatever you call the shiny thing behind the toilet to stop the water from the very beginning.
My husband is thinking of taking off the whole toilet off the floor to see what he can do. But the toilet is 'cemented' to the floor so he thinks he'll have to break the cements to take it off. Is it workable? What else can we do about it?
Many thanks in advance.
By the way it doesn't seem to have any suction since it had this problem...
