Hey all,

While trying to sort the valve on our upstairs toilet, the toilet itself no=
w doesn't fully flush. The tank bits cycle, the toilet fills, but it only d=
rains slowly. It doesn't "gurgle" (for lack of a better term) at the end.

This has been going on for over a week now so I doubt there is anything stu=
ck. (no feminine products in use in our house any more so that is not an is=
sue.) I've plunged the hell out of it, pushing down and also sucking up wit=
h plunger. I can't really get a snake to go very far into the trap so not m=
uch help there.

I remember reading years ago that a clogged or compromised vent can affect =
sink drainage. Is it possible that this issue is affecting this toilet? The=
 sink and tub in the upstairs bathrrom are no affected. They both drain fin=
e. Hell, nothing else in the house is affected.

thoughts please?
thanks
tim
