have someone run a snake down to see if there is any blockage. Could be tree roots or maybe if you have a sepic tank, it may need to be emptied
.
Get a toilet plunger and work it vigorously in the toilet. And check to see if your tank is filling up properly. I suspect you have some kind of obstruction that it's not flushing properly. Or do you have a septic tank that needs to be emptied
I would call in a plumber at this point.
Get some Liquid Plumber and follow directions. If that doesn't work, get a plumber to run a snake down the pipe. There may be a stoppage somewhere.
If the toilet was taken off when your new flooring was laid, there is a possibility that the wax ring was not set right when the toilet was reinstalled.
MegsgrandmomHometalker - First, check to see if your toilet tank is filling up all the way. (Adjust water level) Test flush with more water in the tank. #2 Next try snaking down to see if there is any blockage. #3 Go out side and find your clean out and try snaking from this point. If none of these work, I would call in a plumber.
You need to check the outside of the toilet to see if you see any cracks. That happened to me and I had to replace the toilet!
What kind of tissue are you using? I live in a house that was built in 1893, plumbing was redone in the early '70s, but does not handle the caressing type of toilet tissue. I use the original Scott and have had no problems with one exception, my grown son. He uses to much paper and slows the works. When that happens I just use Dawn blue dishwashing liquid. I squirt it in and give it a chance to dissolve, then dump a 5 gallon bucket of water in and whoosh, all taken care of. Give it a try before calling the plumber.
I use Scott Tissue also. My Mobile home was built in 1987.
