Call a repair person & have them go through your dryer. I have a water issue right now & it stinks to high heaven. Toilets won’t go down when we flush toilets, water backs up in tubs & the house is only about a yr. old. I’ m guessing the plugs weren’t taken out of the vents on top of house. Good luck with your dryer!
Dear OhioBuckEye,
I read about your sluggish toilets and water backing up. There are no "plugs" on your roof. The roof vents are PVC pipe lined with a flexible lead flashing. Sometimes we find those lead flashings occluded and always check for this when we are on the roof and send it to warranty if that ARE plugged. My guess is that you have a slow building obstruction in your main sewer line. If your home is less than 1 year old the Plumber needs to come out to scope it. You need to speak to the Plumber who plumbed your house....some folks say there is a 2 year warranty... Often some construction debris is found, or a "belly" that causes an obstruction, or a snag that will catch some toilet paper and slowly build up to a partial clog or total clog. Sometimes a break in the line is found, especially if you are the neighbor put in a pool, etc. Also, We always tell folks that if you go away for more than a week to always flush all toilets three times to clear the line so if there IS any paper in the line it will not dry out and become an obstruction. Hope this helps! Frank D.
