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.
Does the toilet pipe lead to the same place as the kitchen sink?
In the end, yes. ANS 2 - By "the toilet pipe" -I'm going to assume you mean the drain . -The toilet drain in a small house is generally the main drain. All other drains are connected to it.
Why do you have to vent your bathroom plumbing?
To vent off odors emanating from the septic/sewer system and to allow the toilet to flush correctly and the other drains to empty correctly.
What causes sulphur smell in toilet water?
It may be caused by other unused drains in the house. I experienced this after I became the only person living in my house & two sinks, two toilets & a shower were unused for a year. The plumber explained that not using drains allows the water left in the trap to evaporate & that allows sulphur odors to be released from the toilet that is being used. The solution is to pour some water down each unused drain once/week so there is always some water in the trap. That water blocks odors from escaping.
Can you convert a toilet drain flange into a vent stack when remodeling since other drains enter this one but are not being moved?
There are some rigid requirements regarding what can be a vent stack and how a plumbing tree must be organized. If you have any questions, refer to a building code manual or a qualified plumber.
Why does the water move around in one toilet when the other toilet is flushed?
There are two main reasons... 1. If the toilets are mounted back-to-back on opposite sides of a wall, some of the movement can be attributed to mechanical transmission of vibration from one to the other due to a structural connection. 2. Suction in the drain. Toilet drains have vents that allow air to move in and gas to move out. If the vents are improperly installed or get clogged they can create a suction in the drain pipe that jiggles the water in other toilet bowls. 3. The theory that this movement is caused by Toilet Gnomes becoming jealous of the attention that other Toilet Gnomes are getting and then scrambling around in a panic is false.
What to do when your your toliet can't flush?
look in the tank and see if the flapper is working when turning the handle or then use a plunger or buy a toilet snake they are cheap. If you have kids or etc then maybe something jammed in the trap and if you can't get it out then take out the toilet and snake it backwards. If your toilet don't flush but the drains of other fixtures work fine then its something wrong with your toilet most cases. More information is actually needed to give a proper answer
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 :)
