om...
after flushing normally, the water in our upstairs toilet bowl
gradually goes down over the course of a few hours. Overnight it has
gone down about 1 inch. I'm sure if we went away for a few days, it
would be empty. There are no wet marks on the floor next to it, nor
are there any on the ceiling below it. Why is it going down? and how
do we fix it?

Thanks for your help!
Cheers,
Deek

That happened to mine -- right before the sewer line backed up through the
floor drain and into the house (and into the living room, since I have no
basement). When the roto-rooter guy came out, the first thing he said was
"did the water empty out of the toilet bowl, because that's usually the
first sign". I still don't understand the connection between the two. The
level in the toilet on that floor had been gradually going down and I didn't
think much about it because it didn't seem significant, and the one day it
all just gurgled and sucked out, and the next thing I know there was sewage
coming up the drain.
