ORIGINAL: YourhandMyAss Low flow toilets won't typically do that, since there's not enough water to over flow the bowl and get all over the floor. The only downside I see to low flow's is ours, at least can't seem to handle flushing normal loads, and I'm not talking about loads of TP. either. It clogs at least twice a month, and just because someone took a huge dump.quote:
ORIGINAL: Lynnxz I hate that OMGWTF the toilet starts flowing over with no warning whatsoever. I finally figured out how to turn off the watersupply before too much damage... I have a feeling it's not the bathtub the landlady thinks is leaking downstairs. backed up pipes, generally not the toilets tank cause, will and does flow over, if current water does drain properly, and the amount in the tank is quicker than a even a slow to drain toilet to empty it will top thr toilet and there is no where else to go but the floor. I know I have delt with it, its an unplesant cleanup. Apts or multiple stories to a home, have a whole uphill and down hill factor. if there is a problem in one story of an apt especially older apts....it happens. The neighboor upstairs had a leak somewhere in his plumbing to the bathtub, the ceiling crased into the tiny bathroom in my sister apt. Lynnxz carefully check for the floor and any sponginess. Then make the landlord get it fixed asap to avoid your floor caving. Be CAREFUL signed a lady of many tasks including handylady experiences.
