Why does your toilet fill with water when you flush but usually does not flush all the waste?

If you live in a older house, it could be possible that tree roots are growing through the cast iron pipes (or through gaps between terra cotta and plastic pipes). You would need to send a router through with a cutter blade for a temporary fix. Replacing the Plumbing in the yard or under the house would be the only permanent repair. This type of blockage is also indicated by overflows, because toilet paper will be caught in the roots and occasionally stop the flow completely.
If you live in a newer house, it might be one of the newer 1 gallon flush toilets, along with a poorly designed trap, and you will have to live with it, along with millions of other new homeowners. Then again, it may be just that one of your kids flushed something down the toilet, and it is lodged somewhere in the pipes, and eventually the system WILL become plugged up, and then you will need a router.
AnswerFirst of all look at the basics first.Check the level of water in your toilet tank.The level should be on the waterline or more.Secondly make sure your fill tube that is in the tank has not come out of the overflow (this fills the toilet bowl). If you do not have sufficient amount of water in your tank or bowl you will have a weak flush.Wiki User
