    If you are talking about the water in the actual toilet bowl, then you have a clog somewhere in your sewer line. My toilet will drain out the water out of the bowl when there is a clog in the line. If no clog the bowl won't drain out the water. It has something to do with the suction in the line is wrong and the trap at the bottom of the toilet.

    If it takes 2-3 minutes to DRAIN, you have a clog somewhere. If the bowl is full and then drains dry in 2-3 minutes, you most likely have a crack in the toilet trap. Notice any water on the floor or in a crawl space?

    Hi Guys:

    Yeah... doesn't sound like a clogged drain to me either, Brian... ;)

    In fact, a repair plug could have loosened in the siphon jet and that could be the issue, or it also sounds like you could have something hung up at the outlet of the toilet bowl (at wax ring) and it could be siphoning the toilet bowl via capillary action. I would take a closet auger tool and try to snake the toilet bowl and drain line and see if things improve.

    Let us know more about the timing of water in and out of the bowl... see what we think again after that, OK?
