Expertise
Pretty much any residential plumbing questions. Note: I live and work in Southern California. We do not as a rule use boilers, hot water or steam heating systems or wells so my knowledge in those areas is limited. There are others here that can probably answer those questions better. "We all is city folk" out here! What is a "well" LOL

Question
Dana.
While my washing machine was draining forcefully,my commode bubbled forcefully.What could be the problem?

Answer
Hi Lillage,
Either the washer drain or the toilet is not vented properly or their vents are restricted or blocked. The draining water creates a vacuum in the system and the vent is supposed to relieve this. It is trying to pull the needed air through the toilet bowl.
Good Luck,
Dana
