I was washing the other day and heard water running. The toilet and bath tub was filling up with water. Went out to garage and washer drain was making a gurgling sound. Was wondering what I should do to fix this? This has never happened before. Carol

Hi Carol,
You have a blockage in the drainaige downstream from the bathroom.
This can be fixed by snaking out the drain from the washer roof vent pipe.
Good luck, Tom

Thank you, speedball for quick response. I had plumer come out and he went threw the toilet pipe and rodded out the sewer lines. He found roots in the line. It seems to be working for now but said that I should have this done about every 6 months and have someone come out to do a cleanout outside. Carol

Hey Carol,

For immediate relief and to kill the existing roots and prevent further growth you can purchase RootX or Robics Foaming Root Killer that contain Dichlobrnic.
A less expensive way would be to call around to garden supply stores and ask for fine grain Copper Sulphate. Put a 1/2 pound in your toilet and flush it down. Repeat in 6 months. This should save you from calling a plumber every 6 months to snake the line.
Let me say that sooner or later you're going to have to bite the bullet and replace that old sewer line with PVC.
