    Toilet won't flush, not sure what to try next

    That's the thing. We did a home inspection and it's with a very reputable company in this area.

    Toilet won't flush, not sure what to try next

    Toilet won't flush, not sure what to try next

    I want to start by saying I only know the basics about plumbing so I may ask for clarification on some things. As the title states I have a toilet that won't flush. This toilet is in the master bathroom. This started about a week ago and since then I've tried several things to try and determine...
