My toilet is clogging it seems by itself when no one has used it, and when I try to plunge it I hear the sink start to bubble and my washer is next to my half bath and when the washer is on the toilet starts to bubble, any idea what's wrond.

Thanks

Bubbles indicate a partial downstream fro the fixture that's doing the bubbling. Plumging won't help this . It's too far down the line. You'll have to snake it from the lavatory roof vent or pull the toilet and snake from there. If you come down from the roof put out enough snake to reach the base and 15 feet more. Good luck, Tom

It seems as if the water that is draining from the washer during the rinse cycle is coming up into the toilet, the washer and toilet are on the same floor. This makes the toilet clog, anyone have any idea.

Thanks

If you look on your roof at the area where your toilet is located you will seea vent pipe that's the one that Tom says, good luck.

You have a blockage in the drainage system downstream of the washer and the toilet, you’ll have to snake it from the lavatory roof vent or pull the toilet and snake from there. If you come down from the roof put out enough snake to reach the base and 20 feet more, good luck.
