    Bubbling toilet during shower/washing clothes
    Hi, I just noticed a few days ago that my toilet has started to bubble when I am in the shower. It has been doing this for a while when the washing machine starts to drain out. We just had the septic pumped out about 2 months ago. Also in the last 2 weeks every so often when we flush the toilet it wants to overflow. Any ideas on this. We have replaced the seal on the toilet about 4 times in the last 6 years. The septic was put in (I think) in 1993.

    The outflow to your septic tank is somewhere blocked or at least restricted.
    Check your piping and remove blockage.
    Success!

Draining shower causing bubbling toilet [ 1 Answers ]

My basement shower/bathtub, when draining, is resulting in bubbing in the toilet next to it! Would the obvious answer be due to hair clogging the shower drain or would it be further down the line leaving the house? What are a few home rememdies I could do before getting a snake or plumber?
