Toilet bowl water level drops

Posted by Joshua Tyler, on
Our toilet bowl should like all others have standing water in the bottom, however for some reason its level drops after only a few minutes. I have checked for cracks or leaks around the base and there are none. Also checked the filler valve and it seems normal. what else could cause this?

It could be that there is a blockage somewhere in the soil pipe and that when you flush it’s looking to get air so is pulling the water in the trap
