    Toilet vent
    I am looking for a way to clean out a possibly blocked toilet vent. I have a drop in water in the bowl and when doing laundry, I sometimes get a gurgle and the smell of sewer gas.
    I am having the septic pumped and I also tries flushing out the vent with a water hose, not an easy task. Any suggestions?

    Try having your lines hydrojetted this will clear out any blockage
