newbie here, so likely an elementary question, however would certainly value any input or advice.
We have lived in our home for 1 year (bought it new), and we have back/back bathrooms downstairs - one bathroom is 1/2 bath with toilet/sink - other is toilet only which hangs off master bath.
Issue we have is when we flush the toilet off our master bath (which lines up directly behind the other), the 1/2 bath toilet splashes water out of it with a few big bubbles that come up. Both toilets are standard 1.6 gpf (one is a briggs and one is an eljer if it matters).
Only other info is before we figured out the other toilet was bubbling, we had slightly detected a sewer gas type odor somewhere in the vicinity of the bathrooms- we had spent a few months troubleshooting this by changing wax rings / doubling up wax rings, etc. but did not help.
However, now that we luckily saw the bubbling firsthand, I would assume we have either some type of blockage? or venting issue? or issue with how the 2 toilets share a vent pipe? does it matter the toilets are different brands?
