Toilet problem? when flushing?

Question

when flushing

water fills the toilet like its going to overflow

and then it slowly drains?

any help?

Answer 1

It's clogged.  Get a plunger for about $5 at the home center or hardware store.

Answer 2

Try using a plunger if not call a plumber

Answer 3

The sewer could be backing up due to a blockage further down, call out dynarod!

Answer 4

That happens to me sometimes also. Just get a plunger and you might bring up some excess toilet paper, clean it out and then try flushing it again. If that doesn't help your best bet will be to call a plumber. They will use the snake to get up in there and get whatevers clogging up the toilet. The same thing happened to us and our plumber had to take the whole toilet away from the ground and re-seal it because there was not enough suction to get the water going all the way down the pipes. That could be a problem also. Either way, good luck!!! :)
