    Double flushing toilet and overflows
    Toilet is about 9 years old... just recently would overflow if my 8 year old goes to bathroom (#2) but also just started to flush twice with each use... never did this before... tonight my 3 year old used the bathroom (#1) and it overflowed and flooded bathroom... any ideas? Blockage or need new toilet?

    It sounds like you have blockage, use a plunger if that would not help then use a toilet Auger, see the images below, good luck.
