    Slow draining tub & toilet
    Lately, every time we turn on the shower, the toilet bubles. When we try to flush the toilet, it doesn't flush, it just drains slowly. If we don't use the shower - like overnight, the first flush in the morning- the toilet will flush normally for the one time - then it again doesn't flush - it just drains slowly. At time we'll hear air buble in our tub if the toilet flushes.

    This indicates a blockage in the drain line. You can go at this one of two ways.
    1) You can rent a sewer machine and snake from the lavatory roof vent, **OR**
    2) You can pull the toilet and snake from there. If you snake from the roof put out enough snake to reach the base and 16 feet more. Good luck, Tom
