SOURCE: my upstairs toilet burps air when flushed all other toilets ok

Your vent stack may be clogged. The pipe that goes up to the roof. Let's air into sewer pipes when you flush. A birds nest or something can do it.

SOURCE: toilet flushes fine but when

The ball float follows the tank water level, and repeated cycles of the float dropping and opening the fill valve would likely reflect a leak in the flush valve. You could try adjusting the float arm downward so that it will respond to a lower water level. Try turning off the supply valve, flushing it and listen for water leaking past the flush valve after it closes. If it does, replace the flapper or adjust the chain.

SOURCE: Flush is weakening. Toilet paper won"t flush

Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.

i dont think you have toilet issue,

Try this. take a large bucket, like a paint or home depot orange bucket. fill 1/2 way...
put some toilet paper in the toilet. Then pour the water in fast, and see how it flushes. it it does a easy flush then your drain is ok. if its slow, you have a drain issue and not the toilet.

if that the case, then goto the toilet, and clean out all of the little holes, that are around the unit.. where you see the water come out. they can be clogged up. a small type wire like a clothes hanger.

I tried to help you. Please help me and Rate/Vote on my response. We take the time to answer your question. take the time to rate us.Thanks and good luck

Toilet burps when tub drains

More than likely the shower drain is not vented to air.

Toilet BLUBS downstairs when flushed upstairs.

Your sewer vent may be clogged, or if you are in the northern climates, frosted shut. When you flush the toilet the water displaces the air in the drain piping. The vent gives the air somewhere to go. If the vent is plugged the dispaced air forces it's way out through the path of least resistance( the lower toilet in this case).Pour some hot water down the vent where it comes through the roof to thaw it out.or run a snake down the vent. Hope this helps.

My toto neorest 500 "burps" when I flush but the water does not go down

The problem may be in the venting of the toilet. If the vent for the toilet is plugged or in the northern climates frosted shut the air in the toilet drain has nowhere to go when displaced by the flushing water so it backs up through the toilet and causes the "burping" you mentioned. Hope this helps.

Toilet wont flush completely. it may take 4 times or more to flush solids. i at first thought this was related to heavy rains we had been receiving in the area over a period of about 4 months. 2 days...

there is no air release. the vent must be clogged somewhere. you can take a hose up there and see if it drains all the way or floods over. since the tub drain has a trap and the toilet itself is a trap, there has to bee a good amount of air pressure coming up without a release. i would say an obstruction. possibly at the junction of the main and the vent.

Master toilet burps when flushed plus the shower drain smells bad

It is a vent pipe. It will be the one on the roof, closest to the problem. Sometimes, squirrels will drop nuts in it and stop it up. If that is the case, you may need a plumber. It could be partially blocked. You should have a trap on the shower but if there is not enough air for it to vent, it could cause what you're saying. If you don't want a plumber, you can figure out where the vent connects to the pipe, cut in the wall or cabinet, and check it there by cutting into it. Most plumbers have a cleanout that will clean this pipe out though. Hope this helps.

If that toilet is over 12 feet from a vent stack you have a vent problem. If it has it own vent,try running a cable through that vent in case something fell into it,and is clogging it up, causing A lack of air above the water.
