  • Sounds like you may need a plumber if it goes that far down.

    It may not be an issue with your plumbing, it may be a clog in the sewer line to your house.

    Hi Polly,

    Sounds like you have done all you can do. Call the plumber and they can put a scope down your toilet to see what is blocking it and remedy the problem. If it is just your toilet that is slow to drain and not the whole house, I would be suspect something has gone down it that should not have. If it is the whole house that is slow to drain, then I would suspect the sewer line. Either way, you need a plumber.

    Could be sewer line , or septic system. Maybe time to call a professional.
