My toilet flushes but after a few hours, there is brown stuff sitting at the bottom.?

Question

I suspect it's sewage that's leaking back up to my bowl. Is this possible? What can I do to fix this?

Answer 1

Sounds like you have a lot of iron in your water

Answer 2

well that's possible,,you should clean that or call for someone in expert for cleaning those things,,

Answer 3

you need to take the cover off the back of your tank; i believe you will find the source of the "brown stuff"; it is most likely mineral deposits coming from your water supply and they have accumulated in your tank; you can clean the inside of this tank and it will help for awhile until the deposits build up again

Answer 4

rust from  iron pipes

Answer 5

Sewerage doesn't leak "up". It's sediment from your INCOMING water.  A bad possiblity is your incoming pipes are cracked. More than likely it's the stuff in the tank on the back of the toilet.
