any plumbers out there

[Prophet]

Is the medicine cement or gelatin?

I doubt this theory.

Perhaps in sickness you friend is delerious and weak, and is making excuses for pipes that need to be cleaned out. In essence, her toilet may need an enema.

A plumber investigating this will bring a wire thing-a-ma-jig to force down the pipe and clear any blockage. After that, it's probable time for a new toilet.

My was clogged up and guess what the culprit was....a huge ball of dental floss

very common especially in old cast iron pipes..if it's not toilet paper don't put it down there

Mr Draino told me as I looked at this huge ball of floss that once he unclogged a toilet drain to pull out a handful of condoms and replied the homeowner rather perplexingly

"my wife and I don't use condoms"

I quess someone had some explaining to do !!!

One Second Plumber

Go to Home Depot...or a Canadian equivalent and pick up the One Second Plumber with the loo attachment. Works a treat for minimal expense. You can't use Liquid Plumbr or Draino in a toilet.

A few years back I had to take two sessions of radiation treatments, it was a liquid form of the stuff, completely gross tasting but I thought it was funny the nurse said that I need my own bathroom. I asked why and she said because the radiation will go into the toilet as it gets flushed out of you system. It will still linger in the bowl tho and it could be harmful. But that is the most I know about medications and toilets.

Mmmm. Glow-in-the-dark turds.

tbill
you should advertise in eye for a plumer to work at half price.
Then you could drive around and interview them.
GOOD LUCK

Medication

Medication can do many things to your stool.

It can constipate you, make it tarry or runny.

Can it clogg your toilet????? Well yes if you use alot of paper or have large volumes of stool. You can give it a flush in the middle of a BM and reduce the ammount that goes down each time.

Older plumbing has problems too. In that the older steel and lead pipes corrode from within and this reduces the available area to run water through.

I hope this helps

Badnick offers some good advise....except for one thing.

Be sure to turn off the water before moving the bowl.

(remember were dealing with TBill)

 

[gar]

To remove the toilet--close the shut off value for the fixture and unscrew the supply line. Next flush the toilet to get rid of most of the water. If you want, use a plastic cup to scoop the remainder of the water out of the bowl. Take of the plastic caps covering the bolts off (one on each side, located at 3 and 9 oclock) and unscrew the nut--counterclock wise. Be careful, the threads might be rusty and you might accidently crack your toilet if your wrench slips and you hit the base. Have a piece of cardboard nearby to place the toilet on. You can now use the snake.
When you're finish snaking you might want/have to replace the wax seal on your toilet. Put the toilet back on and sit on the toilet to seat it properly. Tightent the nuts--but be careful not to overtighten--you'll crack the fixture--believe me it happens. Reattach the supply line and turn the shut off back on.
Hope this helps.

If one was taking an elephant dose perhaps......

I haven't actually measured the narrowest opening in a toilet and compared that to the largest possible expansion of the sphincter muscles but..........my conclusion is that Bob Villa doesn't have to worry about you Tbill ....lol

First of all, there is no need to remove the toilet guys....leave that to the ones that know. Once you lift the toilet you have to replace the wax seal. Otherwise you are gonna have one smelly bathroom until it is replaced.

And Badnick, there are two bolts holding the toilet in place, not 3.

Be aware that these toilets are made of ceramic, very brittle and very heavy. Lift it the wrong way and you can throw your back out.

Remember the KISS method, Keep it Simple, Stupid. Just rent a snake and forget the drill.

Actually, my older toilet has 4 bolts, so there.

My newer one, which is a low flow Kohler suffers big time from lack of power.

I have contacted Kohler and they have told me that I might have lime deposits around the rim, and to plug the holes around the rim with wet paper towel and plumbers putty, then pour in some CLR overnight. Oh yeah, and to reem the holes out with a paper clip.

I did all that, and still no power.

I have had the bowl off, couldn't see any obstruction, but didn't snake the pipe.

Funny thing is, if i use the plunger to plug the exit to the toilet, flush it, let the bowl fill up with water then remove the plunger, the water screams out of there with a nice "ga-loog" sound when done.

Pretty much like it should.

But just flushing the thing, Nope, no power.

That's why i bought into the plugged rim holes.

Very weird.

My friend also had a Kohler and he complained of the same thing. Maybe it is something particular to their design. I dunno.

All I know is that the thing plugs very easily on next to no paper.

It's about 6 years old, and driving me fucking nuts.

My older one is an American Standard that uses more water, but you could drop a brick in that thing and it would eat it.

Haven't gone up to the roof to check the vent yet to see if it's plugged but that's about all i can think of, orelse the Kohler is just a piece of junk (which my friend swears that despite the "bold look of Kohler" that they are crap.

Pun intended.
