    Bubbling toilet
    Hello please help, My toilet seems to bubble at night and once its finished the water in the bowl is really low why is this? Im the last house on the street and two years ago the toilet blocked and the man hole in the garden over flowed, Well I called for a plumber it took some time back he did clear the blockage and everything's work fine since. Also the water from the bathroom sink and bath seem really slow in draining out, Can anyone please tell me what to do, Thank you

    The fact that the water level lowers tells me that it's attempting to vent out of the toilet bowl. This indicates a blocked vent. What puzzles me is that it happens in the middle of the night while nothing's draining. Perhaps one of the other experts can shed some light on this. Regards, Tom

    Call the plumber and have him snake it again. While he is there ask him to camara your line to see why it is backing up. Tell him you want the video.
