I snake all the plumbing. When use the tub, it gurgles in toilet Use toilet it gurgles in tub. I have been waiting a while between use. I am pretty sure it is the vent coming out of roof. How do I unclog it? Thanks for any help!!

Sounds like there is still a blockage in the drainage piping.

Do you know if enough cable was run out to cover the entire system?

Growler was bang on,

Put out enough cable from the lavatory roof vent and about 25 more feet.
Afterwards flush the toilet a few times to wash it clean. Good luck. Tom

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for your E-Mail. So you found roots and pulled them out. That indicates a break in the lne and the roots will grow back until it's repaired.
Going in, let me say that sooner or later you're going to have to bite the bullet and replace that old sewer line with PVC.
RootX or Robics Foaming Root Killer that contain Dichlobrnic are two products you could try. To stop the growth of roots.
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.
Hope this helps Tom

Thank You I will try that. :)
