I've done tons of drywall repair and skim coating. That's a horrible job and will not be fixed by sanding. Your contractor is clearly not a skilled at skim coating, and if nothing more is done, other than sanding, you'll have a very poor job. You'll be sorry if you accept that work.

I had previously looked at both those things. I thought I was going to have the answer with a clogged siphon hole, but I checked during a test flush and there was a strong stream of water from it. And I can see lots of water coming from all the rim holes. As I said early on, there IS a strong...

I didn't replace any parts, since I don't see how the internal parts are responsible for the problem. I did run a toilet auger through it without any change in the flush. The small fill valve hose IS still squirting water into the overflow tube, so the bowl IS at an appropriate level before...

The vent is a 4" stack right next to the toilet, and there is a toilet above it on the same 4" line. I know there is no way that it's clogged. The water in the bowl goes down with significant force and speed at the end of the flush. It's not like it hardly flushes. The problem is that as the...

At this point, pulling the toilet and checking the trap is my plan. A partial blockage has been the only thing I could think of that seemed to make sense, and your experience gives me more confidence that's the problem. I was hoping to avoid that but it looks like the only way to check this...

The tank level starts out near the top. There is plenty of water and the flapper is allowing virtually all of it to be used, just as it should. The flapper is working properly and there is no problem with the chain. The only thing I can think of is that there is partial blockage in the toilet...

The vent is definitely not clogged. And I don't see what a new flapper will do. The flapper opens, and it closes when the tank is almost empty. It appears to be doing its function admirably. I can't think of anything else any flapper could do that would change the outcome, other than if it...

I have a 25 year old toilet that worked well for 20 years. For the last 5 or so, it frequently leaves floaters behind! I'm baffled by the change, because it's not any of the issues you might tend to think it would be. It's not clogged and the water flushes down in a nice funnel action in a...
