There is not any pressure behind the drain. I read information about
the siphon maybe be clugged.I do not understand how to fix it. What do
I need to do to fix my toliet?

Thank you!


Go to a hardware store and ask in the plumbing area for a toilet snake
and ask them if they can give you a quick demonstration of how to use
it,. You rotate the snake while pushing it down the toilet. It will
eventually unclog whateve is in there. It could be almost anything,
from a sock that got flushed down unknowingly to a toy soldier a kid
flushed.

You could also try a toilet plunger, you put it over the botton of the
toiket and move it up and down. Again the hardware store and ask them
to show you how to use it.

You must have led a very pampered life to never have seen either of
these common tools in use.
