Good afternoon everyone! I'm hoping I could get some help here.

I've got a toilet problem that involves the toilet to gurgle after it flushes. I've never had this problem till recently.

When it comes to "#1's" the toilet flushes normally, but it still gurgles. But when it comes to "#2's" the toilet flushes slowly from then on after the initial flush, which then needs plunging.

I was advised to do the 5 gallon bucket test (dumping 5 gallons of water down the toilet with a piece of toilet paper to flush it) and it seems the water goes down without a problem. I was thinking of trying to auger it myself, but the plumber suggests to replace the toilet altogether. What should I do?

find a better plumber and have them snake your main drain line

 

Thank you for the reply. I'll get a quote for that and hopefully i won't end up spending $300 for replacement and installation.

 

the description you have supplied us with, tells me that most likely all you need to do is auger the toilet.

i agree with plumber dan and find a good plumber

 

if they want to repair.replace anything get a camera inspection done and be there as they do it and make sure they give you a video of your line so you can show the others that you will be getting bids from and it wont caost the camera inspection fee again

 

snake the line and that should fix it.
