Re: [BlindHandyMan] toilet water level

[Philip Theron]

Hi that  sound like the down pipe is blocked and it will progressively get 
worse. You can try to un bloc it with a plunger, [that is forcing the obstacle 
down the pipe as to create a free flow.] If you don't manage with a plunger you 
will need to get someone in with a long rod that can open it professional.

  Subject: [BlindHandyMan] toilet water level


  Hey Guys,

  Ok, I still have not tried the solution for my shower problem. Well, actually 
I tried and my two year old fount the cup of vinegar and shower parts about 
thirty minutes into the soaking and promptly poured it out on the floor. So I 
had a really clean floor. *smile* This did however prompt my husband to take 
over the project and leave only the one shower head in. He seems to have 
forgotten the reason we moved to this arrangement to begin with. 

  Anyway, today it is my toilet again. Of course my mother is here visiting 
when this has to happen. *sigh* The toilet bowl fills up all the way to the top 
when you flush it. It looks like it is going to overflow apparently. The 
flushing sound just does not sound powerful enough either. I mean the actual 
sound of it all going down, not just the sound that is triggered by moving the 
lever and starting the water moving in the tank. Is this an adjustment problem, 
or something bigger do you think?

  Jennifer

Re: [BlindHandyMan] toilet water level

[Lee A. Stone]

ya know  2 years ago  we had a plumber in and he was stuck. after 
using a auger. toilet auger and   pressure flushing  it was no better.  
and I had to pay  for him and his useless helper. it was not until I had 
the town water department here that   they suggested I look  at or check 
out my roof  vent. so sure enough   part way up the ladder  one of the 
boys said.no way. there is wasps coming out of that pipe. so at night 
time I went back up and with just one knee on the roof and someone 
holding the later I forced a garden hose   in the roof vent stack . 
blasted the water a fw minutes at a time and then ran it wide open for a 
half hour. Poof the toilet flushes much better. . what is odd, I think 
is we have a roof vent  for the sewer line as well as a lower one  in 
the front  of the house which is a a short pipe running thru the   
highest part of the solid concrete. we put a hose in there now too a 
couple of times during the summer. Lee

RE: [BlindHandyMan] toilet water level

[Jim King]

Philip is right but it is much more urgent.  Take care of it immediately.
If you cannot take care of it with a plunger then call a plumber or Roto
Rooter right away.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] toilet water level, and wasps

[Betsy Whitney]

Lee,
I wonder if you could discourage the wasps from coming back by 
putting a coat of paint just inside that pipe. We were having trouble 
with wasps at another house we lived in, and someone suggested that 
we paint the spot where the nest had been after we knocked it down. 
It worked. They never came back and they had been building there 
every year for the three years we were there.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] toilet water level, and wasps

[Lee A. Stone]

Thanks much Betsey  for that suggestion. Perhaps  I can  persuade one 
of my sons to  to do that job this summer. I really do not want to get 
onto this roof as it has a steep incline.  I was braver at 25 than at 
62. grins.Lee
