Hey guys, I'm having a problem with both toilets in our house. At first I thought it was my daughter using too much tp. Now Im noticing that its has trouble flushing after hardly anything at all. Any solutions. Thanks. Dan

To eliminate the possibility of a vent problem, partially fill the tub next to the toilet with water. Release the water in the tub and flush the toilet. Observe whether or not there are air bubbles present in the tub when you do this. Let us know.

Ok, it looks as if the drain itself has an occlusion in it. I would pull the highest toilet and either rent or have a pro run a snake or auger in the drain. You may even find the morphin ranger stuck in the toilet when you pull it. they have a funny way of sticking near the base. I know it is a weekend, but buy a wax ring and pull the toilet just for the heck of it and see if you see anything that could be causing it.
