There may be a blockage further down the drain that the plunger cannot reach, or the blockage may be too large or solid to be dislodged by plunging. It is recommended to try using a Plumbing snake or calling a professional plumber to resolve the issue.

Why won't the toilet water go down even though it's not clogged?

The toilet water may not be going down because there could be a problem with the toilet's flushing mechanism or the water level in the tank. It's possible that the flapper valve is not opening properly, the chain is tangled, or the water level in the tank is too low. Checking and fixing these issues may help the water to go down properly.

All I do is put full pressure on the plunger, rock up and down on it, and then finally release it from the toilet. yes, it is clogged, no doubt. try plunging, however it may need a snake if it still doesn't work.

There should be no reason the toilet would overflow. The water being turned off should have no effect on it. As long as the drain is clear even if the shut off valve in the tank didn't work, the water will just go down the drain.


Is toilet water good for dogs?

Not really because most folks put bleach tabs or some type of disinfectant in the toilet. Just keep the lid down on your toilet bowls. If there is no bleach or any other type of disinfectant in the toilet bowl then I would not worry. Why not give your dog a nice large clean bowl full of fresh water so he can drink out of that instead. Be sure to give fresh water in the bowl daily.Another consideration:"Toilet water" is just tap water, so it can be tempting to allow your dog access to it and "save yourself some trouble," but it's a bad idea. Even if you don't use any chemical additives in your toilet, dogs aren't very discriminating...and most won't hesitate to take a drink even if someone forgot to flush.


Why is water still coming out of the toilet shut off valve under the toilet even though the main valve outside has been turned off water is not coming out of any taps in the house?

It is just water draining down from the pipes, or sphiphoning out of the water heater. Open both hot and cold taps on the highest sink and the lowest fixture. If the lowest happens to be the toilet, flush it and let it refill. Once should be enough to empty the lines.


Why is the toilet bowl empty even though the tank is full?

The toilet bowl is empty because there is a blockage in the pipes that prevents water from flowing into the bowl from the tank.
