    Slow Toilet
    Hello,
    One of the toliets in my home is very slow. It flushes but no effiecetly... it takes about 2 flushes to get everything down. It also bubbles inside the bowl and it does a gurggle at the end of the flush when the water is refilling. We have plunged it, we bought pipe cleaning chemicals we used an auger. The problem is still there! I was hoping not to have to hire a plumber. We do have 3 children under 5... two which are potty trained and are girls so A lot of toilet paper is used but we also have a 14 month old who is fascinated with the toilet... so I don't know if there is a toy in there or what the issue is. Please HELP!

    Thanks

    Hey Mary,
    It also bubbles inside the bowl
    This tells me that you have a partial blockage that's sending back pressure through your toilet bowl. How long afcter the flush do the bubbles apear? Bang on right away? A few seconds later? Give me all the details you can. Something's down there, I'm just attempting to find out where. Back to you, Tom

    The bubbles show up maybe a second or two after I push the flush lever. Do you think I should call a plumber or can I fix it myself. I bought a wax ring in case I need to take the toilet off but I really don't know what to do.
