Hello and thanks for any help.
Toilet in a half bath filled up with water and when I plungered it, it began leaking from the was seal. We called a plumber who took us to the proverbial cleaners. He removed the toilet and power augered the line ($450) and reset the toilet ($200) last Friday and it's worked except this morning, it's doing the same thing. We also had the septic tank pumped Monday so it's not that. This toilet is upstairs; there's another bathroom downstairs and we have no problem with that toilet. There's a third toilet upstairs which also has no problem. The line to the toilet in the half bath runs about 30 feet before it meets the stack where it is joined by the line from the other upstairs toilet.
I don't want to spend another $650 to have the line augered again and I really don't think that's the problem. The only other thing I can imagine is that maybe the vent line is plugged. There's a sink that also drains to the same line as the problem toilet and it drains OK except that as it drains, we see bubbles coming up from the toilet.
Any ideas?
Thanks for listening.
