Yesterday I made the mistake of flushing my toilet a second time after it clogged. I wasn’t aware until almost an hour later that the toilet was continuously overflowing. An abundance of water leaked out to the adjoining rooms, through my wooden floors of my 2nd floor and down to the basement. I was amazed how the water traveled in totally different directions throughout the floors. As the water was leaking I panicky turned the shutoff valve in all directions until the overflow stopped, and now don’t know the correct positioning. Presently when I now attempt to flush the toilet it doesn’t flush, but instead it pumps water into the toilet and 10 minutes later the toilet is completely empty. I definitely don’t want a recap of yesterday’s event. What positioning of the valve would correct this problem?
