Every homeowner loves when unexplained issues pop up. Here is some help on how to solve one mystery. If you notice that your toilet is bubbling when you run water down other drains or when you are showering, what does that mean?

Most likely you have a blockage in your pipes, possibly in your vent pipe. The vent pipe is a pipe that is connected to your drain pipes that will let sewer gasses and air pass out easily. Whenever something goes down the drain, it displaces gasses that are inside of the pipe, and they have to go somewhere. This is why there is a vent pipe, but if the vent pipe gets blocked, the gasses will find the easiest exit, and oftentimes this will prove to be your toilet. Getting access to your vent pipe can be tricky, since it often vents out on your roof, so you might need to consult with a professional to take care of the problem for you.
