If/When I figure it out I will be sure to post back what it was.

The toilet upstairs barely has any water in it at all, its like it is almost empty. That one is easily down 4 inches where as the one of the first floor has more water in it and maybe down 2 inches or a little over... Also, when the bowl fills, it reaches the level it stays at pretty quick but...

Thanks Frodo.. the one thing is there is none of that gurgling sound they speak of which is typical with a venting issue. To me it seems like venting but without that sound, Im not sure.

Well then where are the vents. You want to see the entire roof. You will see there is ONE vent.. 3 of the 4 toilets are right above each other and the 4th is on the opposite wall of the 1st floor toilet.. Why would someone put a vent on the other side of the house when they are all stacked on...

Yes, the level did not rise. So what does that spell out?

To be clear the water level never rises to where it used to be.. It doesnt drop after filling it just never fills to where it used to.. 3 to 4 inches lower than before

Each week I measured it and the water level would drop about an inch each week.. (since then it has slowed maybe even stopped) The water is 3 inches below rust ring which is where the water level was at for years. the toilet is used many times a day I dont think 3 inches of water evaporates in a...

Thank you for your time :)

Thank you Diehard, So let me ask you this. If I slowly add water to the bowl and bring the level higher and then flush another toilet and then (the toilet I filled with water) its water level drops, would that suggest its a blocked vent? Thank you!

Can you explain what you mean by negative pressure? Like maybe a clogged sewer vent?

Yeah if that would only fix the issue...... :)

I didnt measure it but my guess is 5" by eyeing it up

See attached...

Thats is correct

thanks again for taking the time to respond. It is appreciated! Hmmm.. Just to be clear, I dont notice it flushing slowly.. the thrust seems fine. Have no issue flushing waste solids. One other thing I can mention. The water level reaches to the final highest level after flushing pretty quick...

Can you explain that to me? Im really trying to understand how a sewer clog lowers the toilets but no draining issues? I guess when I think of a clogged sewer line Im thinking of toilets backing up all over the floor. Any help to get me to understand that would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you for your reply. But all they all vent out thru the one sewer vent pipe on the top of the house, there are not 4 different vents on the roof so you are losing me here a bit? Not sure I understand that. Im on well and septic not city water/sewer. It goes out the side of the house with...

Meaning something stuck in the trap. I personally think its a venting issue but I can tell.. I went on the rook and it only goes down 3 feet before it T's and cant see any further of course

Thanks for your response.. But how could this happen is all 4 toilets at the same time?

Thank you for your reply. I just ran a test they said to try to see if it is a sewer vent. They say flush the toilet and soon as the tank is filled and shuts off turn on the hot and cold water nearest to the toilet (the sink for me) They say if the toilet level drops after that its a sewer...
