    1st floor toilet bubbles.
    Hi I have a toilet on 1st floor that bubbles mostly when washing machine drains or bathtub drains. I have a septic tank and a cesspool. The septic tank hasn't been pumped in about 4 years and the cesspool was pumped 2-3 years ago. Which would be the cause, I usually run the washing machine into a drywell that after 10 years started backing up. By the way is there anything I could put in the drywell to free it, or do I have to dig up the cover to clean it. Thank you for ant assistance.

    This tells me that you have a partial blockage downstream from the toilet. The solution would be to pull the toilet and snake the line,

    Sorry! No magic chemical here. Time to either get your hands dirty of put in a new dry well, (see image). Good luck. Tom
