Chapter 1: We have two baths in second story of our 35 yo house. One has stall shower, other has bath tub. Plumbing is back to back with toilets on outside wall. There is a single vent pipe which appears to arise very close to the wall between the toilets. Each bath has two sinks. Everything flushes and drains well. It sounds like toilet is venting through shower. There is no gurgling when other toilet is flushed nor is there any sound coming from bath tub or when bath tub or sinks drain. Puzzle is why is there a gurgling sound coming from shower drain in bathroom 1 when toilet in same room is flushed?
Chapter 2: I treated the shower drain with drain cleaner and problem is now gone, but I am still curious about what could have happened. The wife is worried that the drain is clogged and some day something horrible will happen. I think not, but need some back-up. Help!
