I've got the master bath gutted and a rag in the toilet drain flange to block the gas. The wall behind the toilet is common to the main bath, where another toilet sits exactly opposite the one in the master. The stack is in the wall between them, and both connect via a very short run of 4" pipe. Both have a 12" rough.
I've noticed over the last few days that the rag in the open drain seems to be "sinking" into the drain, but kind of ignored it. Yesterday I was in the bath and happened to be looking at the drain when someone flushed the toilet on the other side. The pressure actually pushed the rag back out a couple inches before sucking it back. I noticed just a little water oozing around the top of the rag.
I would certainly think this is not desirable, but is it a problem? The toilet on the other side is a Toto Drake, so I know it's pushin that water (and content- ) out the pipe pretty quick. The house is on a slob so making a change is not particularly easy.
comments? should I be concerned?
TIA!
