    Bubbling Drains.
    We've had this problem for a few weeks now. Every time the washer drains the kitchen sink drain, and the drains in the furthest from the laundry room bubbles. Both of our toilets bubble as well. They are on opposite sides of the mobile home. Every time the washer drains the bubbling gets worse. It gets so bad that all drains will have water splashing out of them after the washer empties for the 4th time. My husband flushed both bathroom vents at the same time and I also turned on the kitchen sink as well as the bathroom sink, and flushed the toilet at the same time in hopes of dislodging any clogs. The toilet almost over flowed. I shut off the bathroom sink and started to Plunge the toilet. The water in the toilet went back to normal. I've done a load of laundry since then and all the drains still bubble. The water level of the toilet goes up when it bubbles and back down afterwards. There is a smell coming from the drains after they bubble as well. The smell does go away. There is also a smell that comes from the kitchen sink after I wash dishes. I would appreciate any advice! Thanks!!
    I forgot to mention that we have a septic system. We had it pumped 2 yrs ago and drain field work done 3 months ago. Also the toilet bubbles when the bathtub drains, the bathroom sink bubbles and splashes water when the toilet is flushed.
    Thanks Again!!!!
