    Toilet Bowl Level
    This is a problem with all of the toilets in my house. They all have low bowl levels, the other night I heard a siphoning sound coming from the main drain line and the water was sloshing in the bowls. Is it a vent problem, what can I do before calling in the professionals.

    Thanks,
    Tom

    Snake each bathroom from the lavatory roof vent. Put out enough cable to reach the base and about 20 feet more. Good luck, Tom
