My toilet has a very weak flush
My toilet has been working fine for the past 3 years I have been living in this house. Just recently, the toilet stopped flushing properly, even if I hold the lever down. I believe it could my 2 year old shoving things down the toilet and trying to flush them. For a couple of weeks before it got really bad, I could just go in there with a plunger and come out looking like Super Dad. However, the plunger has been ineffective the last couple of times. I am no contractor or handyman for that matter. I am also kind of broke. What should I do from here? Please help. Like I said, I am no handyman, so if you don't mind, break the instructions down "Barney" style for me. Thanks for your help.

Flip[/QUOTE\ Hey Flip, Go to your big box store and purchase a toilet auger.(see images). Auger the bowl. I want you to also check the small jet hole in the base of the bowel. It should be clear and not limed up. Good luck, Tom |

Ive done a ton of research online before I posted this. Let me start by saying the toilet used to flush decently (had to hold handle for a bit) until a bad clog. After then it had a very very weak flush even after a good plunge. I ended up replacing the ballcock with a new water valve assembly...
Hi! I am growing very frustrated at my toilets weak flush. The water just swirls around and does not go all the way down. To get solids and toielt paper to go all the way down, I have to flush 2 or 3 times, while holding the handle down. It is definitley not clogged as I have plunged it, snaked...
My toilet has a "weak flush" It will seem to fill, but when you go to use it again, there is not a strong enough "current" to flush away the waste products. I have tried to shorten the chain on the inside of the tank to help it, but that does not seem to work. Any suggestions
Weak flush in toilet. Ran snake and plunger and toilet doesn't appear clogged. What's the possible culprit and/or solution?
When I flush my toilet the bowl pressure is pretty weak, and doesn't always clear the bowl completely. We often get pieces of paper that come back into the bowl. The tank and bowl was cleaned out completely before I re-installed it. I also installed a new flush valve system. Still the weak flush. ...
