All my toilets in my newly bought house seem to get clogged. About once a week. It's very annoying. Keep telling my wife maybe we should change our diets. When we had the house inspected, they said nothing about the toilets and all seemed fine. Does anyone have any ideas?

In my capacity as shop trouble shooter I began to run into a slew of complaints on our new construction that were just like yours. I knew they all couldn't be " bad toilets" so I went looking for the cause. I found that when installing the new bowl that the wax ring had been forced out into the discharge pipe and blocking the free flow of water. When the water hit it a backpressure was set up preventing the siphon that makes a good flush and the solids just swirled around while the water went slowly down. I had to set up meeting with our plumbers and show them the problem and how to fix it. When you set the bowl, put the wax seal down on the flat side to the closet flange. Then take your hands and bevel the wax seal outward so that when you set a bowl on it the wax is forced out instead of in blocking the flush. The customer complaints stopped and I had less work to do. Try molding the wax seal so it doesn't choke down on the flush. Good luck, Tom

Thanks for the reply Tom.
It's worth a shot. I've had a plumber out and he snaked my most troubling toilets and pulled nothing out. Do you think if the wax seal was the culprit and it was forced into the discharge pipe, do you think the plumber would've pulled up some wax from his snake?
