Lately downstairs toilet, when flushing only slowly drains the water not enough to pull the waste down, then after about an hour the water almost disappears completely. I used an auger but has made no difference. Any ideas? icon_question.gif

Property is 20 years old, so I don't think its too old. I have tried the bucket of water trick and that has helped a bit, but still not back to normal.

I now have tried plunging, using an auger (but that seems to go through easily), and now the bucket of water.
