Low flow was fine for upstairs, but not in the basement. Perhaps that is your issue?

Ahhhhh this explains so much. I have a few friends who have "claimed" my basement guest washroom, but always plug it while swearing that they were cautious and took extreme preventative measures due to this being an ongoing problem. I barely ever use that toilet, however I do notice that it's much slower/capable of performing it's required task, and quite often includes the "plop" bubble sound. I'm not a fan of my low flow toilets upstairs, but I'm really disappointed and annoyed with how finicky the basement one has been (house is 3.5 years old). Maybe I'll remove it and install a bidet & urinal combo
