Re: Toilet venting
I'm with Vern here. Toilets (most) are designed to be self-siphoning and rely on the fill mechanism to re-seal the trap. UPC allows the "trap arm" to be up to 6' from the flange to the venting stack and the IRC seems to allow unlimited length. Toilets shouldn't need a vent right at the fixture and I also don't see a stuck mechanical vent stopping the toilet from draining. I would suspect a clog somewhere.
