    Toilet Won't flush properly
    We recently purchased a 1998 Double Wide Manufactured Home. There are two toilets in the house on opposite ends. The one off the Master Bedroom works fine, but the other toilet will not flush properly. It will work for a couple of days without any problems and then it starts clogging and when you go to flush it the water will come to the top and will have to be plunged. We plunge it quite a number of times and then it will work fine for a few days and then the cycle starts over again. We had a plumber out who took the snake to the toilet and didn't find anything. Please let us know how to fix this problem as it gets frustrating when we can't use the toilet.

    There are many good plumbing experts here so they have better ideas, but I would look at the drop (grade) of the pipe to be sure there not an area where the pipe is level or even a little uphill. I had a friend with an older trailer and the pipes droped after a little while the wires holding the pipe up came loose and drooped causing the toilet to back up every few days. I am sure other experts here may have other great ideas
