Slow flushing toilets

[tole801]

I have a weird situation... Today I flushed my toilet and found that it was not siphoning correctly and would slowly drain. I tried flushing it a couple of times, and the water in the bowl would rise dangerously high, then slowly drain. I decided to try my other two toilets. When I flushed them, both, the first time, they flushed like normal. However, I decided to flush them again, just to see, and found that they were doing the exact same thing as the first toilet. So now I have 3 toilets that don't want to siphone correctly. Any suggestions on what the problem might be on this?

Thanks

It could be a clogged drain, but I am going to guess a blocked vent pipe.

On the other hand, we have had a clog well down line that caused problems only after a lot of water was put in the system. Tom Baker

Those are the bad ones -- the ones that make water backup into the tubs and showers. You need to snake the dranes all the way out for something like that.

Appears it is time to call for RotoRooter! Could be a root-infested sewer pipe -- our basement drain would start to have soap bubbles come out of it from the washing machine before the toilet started to act up. (Washing machine in the basement; toilet onthe first floor.)
