    Upstairs toilet does not flush completely
    Why does my upstairs toilet flush partially but the downstairs toilet flushes completely?I live in a traditional split level home built in 1968. The toilets are one above the other.

    jorkan, will the toilet flush completely if you hold down the handle? Take the top off the tank and watch inside the tank as you flush. Is the handle lifting the flapper all the way? Is the flapper worn out? Toilet rebuild kits are inexspensive and easy to install.

I just replaced all the insides of my toilet, now when I flush I have to hold the handle down until all the water runs out of the bowl. If not almost as soon as I let the handle go the flapper will cover up the hole that drains the water into the bowl. I know this is easily fixable, but I don't...
