Had a problem today that just cropped up. Was able to flush the water closet all morning long without a problem. Then mid afternoon had just taken care of nature's call and flushed the toilet. Water came up in the bowl almost to overflowing. Couldn't figure it out. Tried the plunger and it didn't do anything. Went up on the roof and shoved a stiff rubber garden hose down it about 15 feet. Tried it again. Still was moving slow. Went into the basement and removed two cleanouts and looked inside. All clear. Went out in my shed to another cleanout and put the hose in there and let it go for about a half hour. Flushed the toilet again Still slow. So I began to think, main line is clear, house lines are clear, got to be in the toilet. Got a closet auger and ran it through - nothing came out. OK, had a spare wax ring. Pulled the toilet and what should I see - a bird stuck half inside the toilet trap. Pulled it out re-installed the toilet. It all works now.
