How can you fix a clogged toilet that runs in the bathtub?

It's not the toilet, there's a blockage in the pipes some where after the drain pipe from the toilet joins up with the drain pipe from the tub.You're going to need to have the pipe snaked.


Why would a toilet that has been working properly just stop flushing even though the tank and the bowl both fill up?

there can be many reasons and I will say my thoughts on just a few. 1. your toilet trap of the bowl is clogged with debris (toys, balls, etc) to fix = snake out toilet bowl or if necessary pull toilet bowl and snake backwards threw trap. 2. your tank flush flapper is closing to soon or your tank water level is not at right height to fix = change flapper or adjust water level height 3. your toilet arm before the vent is plugged because of back grade or debris clinging to the side of the drain pipe to test = pull toilet and run toilet water supply full on down threw toilet flange and see if any back flow. 4. your toilet main line is clogged from backgrade,roots,damaged pipe,etc but will let other fixtures slowly drain to test = camera toilet line from toilet flange out to street or septic or if no camera available then fill tub full and lav full and drain both at the same time and look at your lowest fixture trap to see if any back flow exists or open clean outs and if possible to see water flow .


How can you join your toilet to the drain when the rough in is only two inches?

If you mean from the back wall to the center of the drain. The minimum standard rough in is 10 " - 12". IN ADDITION: This is a construction fault. Either you need to re do the plumbing or move the toilet across until it fits. This type of problem is quite a nasty one to fix.

What is causing your toilet bowl to keep releasing slow water flow after or before flushing it and how can you fix it?

Take off the back of the toilet. Look down to the bottom and you'll see a flap that is raised when you flush it. That flap is leaking. IF the toilet is old I strongly recommend the Gerber viper toilet. Inexpensive and works great.ANS 2 - change the flapper valve - takes about 5 minutes and costs less than $5

Why would the odometer on a 1994 Honda Accord fail intermittently and how do you fix it?

If the odometer also quits, the problem is probably the speed sensor or wiring to it. If the odometer keeps turning when the spedo quits, it is in the spedo itself and needs to go to the speedo shop.

Your toilet bubbles when flushing and drains slowly?

Toilets that bubble when flushed and drain slowly can be cause by different things, such as port holes that are clogged, a clogged drain line, the tank has a low water level, or a problem in the vent pipe. A plumber can check for the specific problem and fix it.
