Clogged toilet?

My Toilet is clogged, the bathroom sink is on the same drain and it is backing up in the sink (not much), but when the toilet flushes it flushes slow, but most of the time it don't flush period! I have tried drain cleaner and plunger. My next step is the snake, but any suggestions on why this is happening? Many Thanks,

Clogged toilet?
First do you have young children or do you live in a mobile home park. By chance did you pour dirty water down the toilet %26amp; the cleaning cloth go with it?


If you have children then pull the toilet %26amp; put it in the tub. Run water through it. If it runs out the bottom then you have a clogged line that needs to be snaked. Usually the toilet wont make the sink back up. So i really think the clog ts between the sink line %26amp; toilet

Drain cleaner is ineffective on toilets by the way





best bet is the snake or ROTO - ROOTER
Reply:if its your home .try to snake it out ,and why is the toilet drain tied into the sink??any system i have ever seen the toilet is a four inch line. and the sink is 2inch?? well any way if the bugger is slow flushing and backing up .if you cant free it call roto rooter,or you can rent a power snake if you want to go that route it will save you a few bucks. and if your renting call the land Lord good luck.
Reply:It is possible that there is a break in the main sewer line which is preventing the toilet and sink from draining. If you snake it you have to remove the toilet (don't forget to buy a new seal ring) and to snake the sink, you need to remove the pea trap (don't forget the plumbers putty or tape for the threads when finished). Do not snake the toilet without first removing it or you will scratch up the porcelain finish inside of it and possibly tear the rubber seals and flaps which will create a whole new and much nastier problem. I had that same thing happen to me and spent $300 digging up 40 feet of pipe with a neighbor and installing new pipes and a clean out. The trees crushed the main sewer line....yuck.
Reply:As you said, there is something blocking the toilet drain. A snake is the next thing to try. If that does not work you may have to lift the toilet to remove the blockage.
Reply:sounds like your main line is clogged
Reply:may be you need to take a stool softener and go more often and not such big ones in there
