That definitely could be. I didn't like the way that fernco looked, but figured that was just me being anal. Now that you've also pointed that out, I'll look into replacing it with a reinforced as mentioned, snaking for clogs up through there, and try to get them plumbed back up flush when I try...

That's what I've heard, blockage or venting issue. But the toilet just below this bathroom is flushing fine with no gurgling there or the from the fixtures above. That's why I was thinking maybe a venting issue.

After I snaked and shopvac'd I ran a hose down the vent and it was draining fine. Thanks for the help Wayne, you have definitely been helpful. After I snaked and shopvac'd I ran a hose down the vent and it was draining fine.

The toilet drain runs past the vent and down past the sink and shower lines. The trap pictured is the shower that's being syphoned. The basement toilet pictured has been flushing fine.

I'm working on a house that's been one thing after the next with the plumbing issues. Hoping to catch a break here. I just installed a toilet and each flush is syphoning the trap water out of the walk in shower. My first thought is a venting issue, and I intend to go up and check it when the...
