Why does the toilet gurgle after flushing?

The toilet gurgles after flushing because air is being sucked into the drain pipe, causing a vacuum effect. This can happen if there is a blockage in the plumbing system or if the vent pipe is clogged.


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.


When you take a shower your toilet bowl drains-- why is that?

This could be caused by either a clogged vent line or lack of vent to outside atmosphere. It sounds like your drainage system is starving for air and is trying to pull air from the path of least resistance, the toilet. Also, it may be caused by the drain line itself being partially clogged


What should you do to prevent toilet from overflowing when water is turned on after being turned off for eight hours?

There should be no reason the toilet would overflow. The water being turned off should have no effect on it. As long as the drain is clear even if the shut off valve in the tank didn't work, the water will just go down the drain.


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.
