    Bubbling toilet when flushing another toilet
    Hi, we have moved into a newer home (5 years old). We live high in the mountains, in Fairplay Co. and have well and septic. Our water should be as fresh as could be, but smells of sulfur, despite trying a number of different filters. We have also discovered that our toilets will bubble up if another is flushed... I haven't yet noticed whether the washing machine does anything, but that probably means that it doesn't. Are these two problems possibly related? What might we do to fix either/both of the problems?

    My experience has been that you need to have your lines snaked by a plumber. The bubbling usually means a restricted flow.

    Ummm.. . How far is your well from your septic tank, and is the well above (I hope) or below the grade of the septic tank? Could be that your water is contaminated!
