Can you flush the upstairs toilet when you have the downstairs toilet off and capped off?

If your plumbing system is properly installed there should not be any problem. If it isn't installed properly, you would already have water from sinks and bathtubs backing up out of the downstairs toilet.


What is wrong if you have a digital thermostat in your house with zoned heat and air and the heat and air work fine on the thermostat upstairs but there is no heat on the downstairs?

There is either a problem with the downstairs thermostat, or the wiring from that thermostat to the unit. First check the batteries in the thermostat. Yes the digital ones have batteries. :-) Next, if that doesn;t fix it, try switching your two thermostats. Be careful to wire them exactly as they were before. If your heat now works downstairs and not upstairs, replace the thermostat. If the problem remains unchanged and you still have heat up and not down - check your thermostat wiring. The voltage is low so a simple voltmeter can be used to confirm continuity from the end where it goes into the furnace to the end where it connects to the thermostat. If the wire checks out and the problem is not the thermostat, then call a licnesed professinal - youhave bigger problems.


Why would an upstairs toilet drain into a downstairs sink?

Answer The waste line from the downstairs toilet is not vented (or not vented properly, or the vent is plugged up). Flushing the upstairs toilet creates a vacuum in the main line which sucks the water out of the one downstairs. Answer your waste lines for both toilets may be on the same branch off the sewer main. Either you have a stoppage in the branch line or you have a stoppage in the main line. (If it's the main line your downstairs toilet would have to be the lowest fixture, ie If you have a floor drain downstairs and it's a stoppage in your main line it would backup through the floor drain. If there is no floor drain the toilet downstairs is probably your lowest fixture.) Your best bet is to snake out the system through the toilet downstairs.
