How do I fix a slow flushing toilet? :confused: :eek:

Is this a fairly new problem? Slow flushing/draining usually means there is some blockage in the drain or the hole at the bottom of the toilet sump. This hole starts the siphon effect of the toilet. Clean the toilet and flush several times. Reach into the water (it is almost 100% clean so do it) and feel the hole, check for debris. Also check the several holes under the rim. If it all is clear you may need to remove the toilet and inspect the wax ring to insure it has not shifted and blocked the drain. Now is a good time to snake the drain with the toilet removed.

It depends on why it is slow. Was it flushing well and then not? Has it always been slow? Do you have small children there? Has it recently been repaired?
