Plumbing issue? I live in a rented house and our upstairs toilet unquestionably sucks....
I live in a rented house and our upstairs toilet unquestionably sucks. Most of the time it takes at least possible 2 flushes for anything to go down, no event what it is. Most of the time on the first flush it looks like it doesn't even give somebody a lift anything down the pipe, just kinda swirls the sea around around. The second flush will take things down but usually it take a 3rd flush to get it to work and flush properly. I've never experienced anything close to this before and am only just curious if I need to replace the equipment contained by the tank or what. We've brought it up to our proprietor and he doesn't really seem to nurture.
Answers: Speaking as a landlord, it must be your blame.
Just kidding - nearly the fault, not the manager.
There are a number of things which might lead to this problem, but if you get a angelic flush which emptys the tank, later that is adjectives you can ask of the tank parts.
The most potential problem is a partial obstruction. Often, though not other this will cause the cistern to fill hugely full before empty, or to empty slowly. A really enthusiastic plunging might work, or you could get a toilet snake for $15 or smaller quantity at Home Depot or Lowe's. It is basically a flexible rod which you can run through the drain to push through any hurdle. Your toilet has a "P" trap within it to prevent sewer gas coming up from the pipes - and if anything which floats gets flushed(disposable blade heads, plastic handle q-tips, small plastic toys), it often get stuch in the top of the "P" and cause the problem you described.
90% or more of the time, the above will fix the problem, but it could be something else. Your landlord may not be getting on the problem because they may know that the toilet is mismatched approaching the previous respondant said, or there may be some problem near the plumbing (bad vent, too many bends contained by the soil pipe, etc.) which would be a major fix.
You are due plumbing which works. If you try plunging and snaking and that dosen't fix it, notify your innkeeper. They may be more responsive if they know you have taken preliminary steps to fix the problem. If not, check the innkeeper tennant laws surrounded by your area. Where I live, tennants can pay envelope to have the problem fixed and discount it from their rent if the landlord is unresponsive.
appropriate luck
Just from personal experience I can tell you one origin for this occurrence. If near is a mismatch of the tank beside the bowl such as a 3.2 gallon bowl being matched next to a 1.5 gallon tank you will return with the problem you describe. This happens when someone replaces a cistern to fix one problem and ultimately creates another problem. This description you illustrated sounded eerily habituated to mine, hope this helps.
