Your toilet will gurgle and bubble when flushed due the flapper valve on your toilet, or small vent pipe and even because of a crack in the toilet. To overcome this Plumbing issue try changing the toilet flapper, which does not cost much, and if the issue is a major one contact a professional plumber near at once.

It is clogged. Where? It depends.

Usually when any water working thing in a household is clog, it can be solved in the main water pipe.

================== Here is a good plumbing layout in a bathroom - http://www.cornerhardware.com/articles/art51.htmlWhen the toilet flushes, the rush of the water down the pipes creates suction. This pulls the air thru the roof vent.

If this vent is clogged (by bird's nest, snow etc), then the air will be sucked in from the bathtub drain. This is what is causing the gurgle sound.

The "soil stack" that allows your drain pipes to breath when draining is clogged. It's a pipe that sticks out the top of your roof and allows air in. It's probably got leaves or a nest in it or something so the system is pulling air in through the toilet.

Often a toilet will gurgle after flushing for one or more of the following.

1-the drain line has a partial blockage

2-the vent line has a partial blockage.

3-the toilet itself has a partial blockage.

4-Incorrect installation of sewer/vent toilet lines.

There are a couple of other rare circumstances that may cause this, but the majority is related to the above. If the toilet is able to flush and no signs of slow draining or back up, then it is most likely the vent line that is obstructed.

Sounds like verbatim what I had posted over a year ago

Assuming that both the shower and toilet link up for disposal of liquids, there may be a blockage in a pipe.

Probably because all the water gets moved around when you flush it. xD

Of course it will gurgle if there is a partial blockage or poor venting .The waste and soil lines do connect and if there is an object causing a restriction then gurgling is quite common.

Why would the toilet bowl not flush as the tank empties?

The internal trap is partially or fully blocked


When you have a shower toilet gurgles water backs up what do you do?

Your drain line is plugged somewhere after your shower and toilet line are connected. The reason for the gurgle in your toilet is because air is trapped in the drain and your toilet is the closest place for air to flow to. If you had a vent on your toilet trap arm then it would gurgle in the vent rather in your toilet but your drain is still plugged and needs to be snaked out and maybe your drain line needs to be examined for right grade or broken.


What would cause the toilet to bubble when the washing machine drains?

Improper venting.


What causes a toilet to overflow when the washing machine water empties?

Sounds like the washing machine discharge is fitted to the main drain in the wrong place and it's discharge is filling your toilet. It's possible there may be something of a blockage just after the toilet, causing a backup. I would try to snake the the pipe from toilet out. You may even have to remove the toilet from the floor and do it there if there is no access underneath (like a basement or a crawlspace). I have snaked main drains from the toilets many times, and it's a pain having to re-re the toilet, but often it's the only way.


What would cause your 2nd floor bathroom tub to gurgle when you flush the toilet if you had the main sewer line professionally snaked due to a back up in the basement and the toilet has been replaced?

You are to heavy to use the toilet.You must lose at least twenty pounds before using that toilet again. another way is to pay at least 12,000 at most 342,000 to fix your whole plumbing system and rip out your floors to fix the pipes.


Why would a first floor toilet gurgle when a second floor toilet is flushed?

The water in the lower toilet is probably being siphoned out of the tank by the negative pressure caused by flushing the upper toilet. This CAN happen if the water level in the tank of the lower toilet is over the top of the ballcock. If this is the case, the tank water is being siphoned into your drinking water! Replace the ballcock with a Fluidmaster right away. If you have a small white fill valve that sits in the bottom of the tank, get rid of it. These are illegal and WILL siphon under these conditions. If the lower toilet runs AFTER the fill cycle of the upper toilet, it may be that the ballcock seals at a lower pressure, and the pressure spike when the upper toilet shuts off causes it to run a bit until the added water closes the valve a little tighter.


What are the processes of toilet repair?

The processes of toilet repair would depend on a few factors. They would include whether one would want to repair the tank or the seat, the type of toilet, and the issue with the toilet.

Why would a toilet stop flushing properly with no final gurgle after using a VIM like sudsy cleaner?

Check your vent If this this vim like sudsy cleaner sits in your tank, it is most likely something is stuck in the discharge or flush valve.This is where the water goes from the tank when flushed.Look in your tank and you would see a flapper that is connected to a chain.Pull it up and check the discharge.Hope this helps!
