Hello!
OUr house is an older one. Rlight now, when we flush the toilet, the water level in the toilet rises, which lead us to believe that the toilet was just clogged. However, when we plunge the toilet, lo and behold, the water begins to come up through our bathtub drain as if by magic! Why is this happening, and what can I do about it?

Mystified and grossed out,

Kelly:eek:

You've got stoppage in the toilet line that's after where the tub line goes into it. You need it snaked.

You can rent an electric snake from HomeDepot, etc. or call a plumber to do it... which, roughly guessing, will run you $125-$175 or so.
