    Toilet Bubbles
    My question pertains to the toilet bubbling when my washer drains or the tub,even my kitchen sink. We had a rain strom last night and it was bubbling then, and the water drained out for the first time. We have a septic tank. Any answers would be a lot of help

    Thanks opie1752

    Hi ibantg and Welcome to The Plumbing Page at AMHD.com. You're responding to a old dead threads so I gave you one of your own. Please check the date before you post. Thanks
    Bubbles indicate a partial blockage. They are called by the flush hitting a blockage and bounces back sending a bubble of air ahead of it.
    Your blockage will be found downstream from the toilet. The solution would be to pull the toilet and snake the drain line. Good luck, Tom
