    Toilet Bubbles
    This is the message:

    I sent this message about 6 months ago I finally got around to trying some of
    Your suggestions about snaking out the drain I didn't find any obstructions I
    Tried from the toilet side and coming from the cleanout going backwards about
    15ft each way clean as a whistle could I have an air leak somewhere ? Should I
    Take the toilet off and replace the wax ring also the toilet is not caulked to
    The floor like in my old house does that cause a problem?

    Shower drains fine sinks are fine and everything flushes great I have an
    Inspector coming in a week and want to know if this will cause a problem with
    Inspections?

    Any suggestions would help.

    Toilet Bubbles

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I have a new toilet downstairs in the basement (below grade about 6ft) The
    Toilet flushes very good, water pressure good, however when you first flush the
    Toilet a 2 inch air bubble comes up after that no problems. Never a problem
    Otherwise.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated

    Have you pulled the toilet and snaked the drain from the closet bend? Describe the flush action. How soon after flushing does the bubble apear? Did the toilet always do this or did it just start? Regards, Tom

Bubbles in toilet [ 1 Answers ]

What does it mean to have bubbles appear in the upstairs toilet when I flush?
