My Toilet Has Lost Pressure And
Barely Flushes. 
What Can It Be?


If you have a low-pressure toilet, you may find that it is best to just replace the toilet. When low-pressure toilets first came on the market, many people were dissatisfied with the loss of pressure. It often took several flushes to empty the bowl. Today, low-pressure toilets have been redesigned and function much better and more efficiently.

However, if your toilet has worked fine and then all of a sudden has a major drop in water pressure, the most common cause is a clog. You may want to try plunging the toilet to see if that solves the problem. If you don’t see a significant change after plunging, it may need to be snaked. At this point, it would be a wise decision to give a plumber a call and have him look at it. There is a possibility that you have a problem in your pipes as well. This could be a result of an old system, deposits in your pipes, or a number of other causes. You may find more information if you are on city water and your neighbors are experiencing similar problems. It is best to hire an experienced plumber who can help you determine the source of the problem.
