Be careful about anything that comes close to or into contact with your face. Even holding the telephone receiver against your face for a while can raise the local temperature and irritate sensitive skin.

Flushing Causes


Both my toilets flushed at the same time and the tanks never lost any water. What causes that?

So all of the sudden both of my toilets flushed leaving very little water in the bowls, I checked to see if the tanks had also leaked out and noticed they were full. Since it happened at the same time to both of them I know that the toilets are not the problem. Any ideas what could have caused this?

There would definitely have to have been a strong suction on the sewer line that pulled the water down from the toilet. A toilet that is not power assist just works by gravity. When you flush it, the water from the tank floods down into the bowl, creating a siphoning effect. This then pulls the water down from the bowl. When the tank and the bowl are empty, the siphoning stops. The flapper in the tank closes and the flush valve fills up the tank. A little tube on the flush valve is directed down into the bowl and refills it along with the tank.

I would guess that there was some blockage in the sewer line that somehow cut loose, suddenly pulling everything in the sewer line down the pipe. This would have caused a suction to be applied to any drain system that was connected to this sewer line. Although it would have had to be pretty strong to empty the toilets. I would think the suction would have emptied the p-traps on your sink and bath drains before it would have caused the toilets to flush.
