Problems with toilet?
Question:my toilet will not go down good,but when you throw soap or degreaser in it than it goes now great?
this problem has been for awhilw but recently we had a leak under my bathtub and my husband had to take out the toilet and sink in order to fix the leak and make another floor.prior to this my floor was very low and slanted because my house was built on dirt,no foundation.anyway i used to keep a plastic pipe under the toilet and when i found the right place the toilet went down great.also the water comes up way too high hits you in the but.we have tried everything ,snaking it with roto rooter machine and throwing drain cleaner ,but its still not going down good and now the floor is higher and its level so i can no longer put platic pipe in there,does anyone have any answers?please help
thank you

Answers:
When your husband fixed the leak and the floor, did he maintain the angle of the sewer line? Also, is the sewer line vented properly?
Sewer lines have to be installed at an angle to properly drain by gravity. The low side is connected to either yours or your town's waste system. The high side is the side that ultimately gets vented.
Good luck.
Have you tried replacing the wax ring? That MIGHT help.
You either have a clogged drainpipe or the vent (pipe that goes through the roof) is clogged and not letting air into the drainage system.
sounds like you have air interrupting the vacuum needed to completely clear the bowl.
i had a similar problem and resolved o only by replacing the toilet.
sorry but i think that is where you a headed.
