I have a mother in law apartment over a separate garage. The apartment sewer line connects to the main house, and then empties into a septic tank. The apartment is plumbed with 6 inch PVC.
The bathroom sink is running very slow, and now the toilet (a Toto) doesn't eliminate all solid waste from the bowl. I have to flush twice. The water leaves the bowl just fine, but it's almost as if there's not enough water going out of the bowl to carry all the solid waste. The identical Toto in the main house works just fine.
I called Toto, and they had me do the flush a penny test, as well as flush toilet paper. The penny went down fine. The toilet paper did not fully leave the bowl. I had to flush a second time.
The kitchen sink in the apartment drains perfectly. All of the fixtures in the main house drain fine too.
Any ideas?
Also, can you recommend a 25 or a 50 foot manual drain auger to buy? The reviews on the HD part seems to suggest it's not of great quality.
