Hey, all I'm a newbe as of today. I just read tom's answer about snaking the stopup. My downstairs tub and separate shower burp and bubble when someone's taking a shower upstairs. I'm on a septic which was pumped about three years ago. Have I got a clog somewhere also, or is it different? Thanks, rikyB

Tom is the pro around here and I think he'd say bubbling toilets and showers usually means you have vent problem. When the vent can't allow air to enter the drain line you drain starts to act like a full pop bottle turned upside down. I think you will get your problem fixed if you rod the vent stacj from the roof. Use enough rod to reach roof to basement floor and about 15 ' more.

ballengerb1, thanks for your reply. I'll have to rent a snake that is that length. I have a small hand held that I've used on sink drains, but I know it's nowhere long enough. I''l try your suggestion. Thank you, very much

That hand held one is too small, probably 1/4". You need a 1/2", you can rent them a lot cheaper than buying a tool you'll use twice in your life.
