The toilet does drain but never enough to take toilet paper with it. I have so far tried the following...worked snake though first a few feet and got a huge clump of hair. But still slow drain. I tried again this time pushing snake all the way down about 16 feet with ease. Came back clean. I also tried dawn and draino which did improve some but not enough for tp to go down. I then checked the air vent and that is also clean. Oh side note, i poured water down shower and it goes down no problem. I should also add this is the second toilet that drains slow in this bathroom. Any suggestions? Please help...I'd rather not have to pay a costly plumber. Thanks much.

Does the poor flush occur every time? Take a bucket with a couple gallons of water in it. Pour it quickly into the toilet bowl and see if it drains out like a good flush should or does it slowly drain.

How old is the house plumbing? City or septic? What brand of toilet? 1.6 gpf or 3.5 gpf.

Best Wishes

Steve, Yes slow drain every time. Same with bucket poured down toilet directly.

Wheelchair, Age Perhaps 20 years old. The original toilet was same age but we replaced it with a different toilet about six years old. This toilet was in a different location and replaced with double flush toilet. Nothing wrong with it. Used to flush no problem but now in new location is slow. Not sure model will see if I can find out. It's a Kohler 1.6 gpf Thanks
