    Toilet bubbles up
    Every time I flush my upstairs toilet, the basement toilet bubbles up and some water spills out on the floor. What can I do?

    You have a blockage or partial blockage, in the main drain line after the downstairs toilet. Pull downstairs toilet and snake the line.

    Agreed and this won't be fixed with toilet auger. You can also snake from the rooof vent stack if it is safe to be up there
