Is something wrong when the toilet gurgles when the bathtub is draining when you are on a well and septic system?

When a basin drains and causes gurgling sounds in other basins -- or the toilet, in this case -- it is usually a sign that a vent pipe is clogged or obstructed. The air being displaced in the drain pipe of the bathtub has nowhere to go if the vent is clogged and is being forced up through other drain pipes.

Why does the water move around in one toilet when the other toilet is flushed?

This phenomenon is due to the interconnected plumbing system in the house. When one toilet is flushed, it creates a temporary change in pressure in the plumbing system, causing the water in the other toilet to move due to the pressure difference.

Why would a toilet back up into the shower?

A down line clog would cause this. The shower drain is lower than any other drain in the bathroom so it is the first to tell you of a clog in the line. Time to Roto Rooter! Y-THINK-Y The toilet and shower must have the same drain. There is a blockage somewhere after the toilet and shower drains meet. The backup takes the easiest route back which must be the shower drain. Try snaking out both drains. Start with the toilet. To do the best job, remove the toilet and start from floor level.


Upstairs and downstairs toilets wont flush but all other drains work?

This could be a blockage in the main DWV (drain, waste, vent) pipe which is usually a 4" pipe from the upstairs toilet and passing by the downstairs toilet, presuming the one is directly above the other. The other drains (sinks, showers, etc.), are smaller (1 1/2" or 2") and might be tied in below the blockage in the main stack and are therefore not affected. In this case, you could remove a toilet and run a plumber's snake or drain auger down the main stack to remove the blockage. This blockage, however, could also be in the drain going to the street, since these are often blocked by tree roots growing through the tiles or pipes. The smaller drains are not affected because of the small amount of water which seeps through the blockage, whereas the large rush of water from a toilet, will back up easily. To correct this problem, you will need a power auger designed to cut through roots and this auger can be run through the main cleanout towards the street. These are available at rental shops. Otherwise, hire a plumber :)

What causes sulphur smell in toilet water?

The smell of sulfur in toilet water is often caused by bacteria reacting with organic matter in the drain pipes or water. This reaction produces hydrogen sulfide gas, which has a distinct rotten egg smell. It can be a sign of a problem with the plumbing system and should be investigated further.
