All,
Just had a new toilet put in. Since it was installed, when I run the shower in that bathroom, the toilet starts to "gurgle" and bubble. If I flush the toilet, the toilet (and the shower) back up. Both then drain very slowly.
This only started happening since the new toilet was put in. Seems like a blockage in the drain somewhere near where the toilet and the shower drains meet, but it seems very coincidental that I would get a blockage at the same time I had a new toilet installed. Never had a problem before.
Also - the plumber replaced the toilet flange and a small vertical section of drain pipe when he did the install. The flange was rusted out..
Any ideas? The plumber is coming back out on Thursday, but they are already claiming (without even looking), that it has nothing to do with their toilet install... I'm wondering if he dropped something down the drain when he was doing the work? Or could it be something else related to the install? Or is it just a coincidence?
