    Bubbles indicate a partial downstream fro the fixture that's doing the bubbling. Plumging won't help this . It's too far down the line. You'll have to snake it from the lavatory roof vent or pull the toilet and snake from there. If you come down from the roof put out enough snake to reach the base and 15 feet more. Good luck, Tom

    Toilet is clogged by washer
    It seems as if the water that is draining from the washer during the rinse cycle is coming up into the toilet, the washer and toilet are on the same floor. This makes the toilet clog, anyone have any idea.

    Thanks

    If you look on your roof at the area where your toilet is located you will seea vent pipe that's the one that Tom says, good luck.

    You have a blockage in the drainage system downstream of the washer and the toilet, you’ll have to snake it from the lavatory roof vent or pull the toilet and snake from there. If you come down from the roof put out enough snake to reach the base and 20 feet more, good luck.
