My home was built in the 1970's it is vented but I am not sure how well. The washing machine is in the basement and when I run it it makes the toilet in the master bed (up stairs) drain and the toilet in the basement bathroom bubble. I recently replaced the old stall shower with a pre fabricated base and walls. I had to replumb the drain due to location of shower drain in base and drain in concrete floor. I had to shorten the existing drain and plumbed my shower drain into it. There are no blockages as far as I know but when you shower after about 5 minutes the water starts to leak up and around the pvc that I plumbed into the drain. I have tried to use silicone and numerous other things to stop the water from backing up around the pvc. The shower base and walls are already attached and framed into the bathroom. Is there anything I can do to stop the leak.
