Hello to all and thanks for an awesome site.
I am new to the forum and trying to learn and help where I can.
Here is my problem:
Replaced upstairs toilet with an American Standard with a 4" flush valve. When I flush it now I get bubbles in the downstairs toilet. The main line is clean.
I removed the clean-out plug so the 3" pipe can vent and it eliminates the bubbles.
All cast iron is 3".
In the first picture:
Black pipe to kitchen-no vent.
Drain on ground goes under tarp and out to the street.
Drain that goes vertical goes to upstairs bath (toilet, lav and tub) and continues thru roof.
In the second picture the pipe with the clean out goes to a toilet and sink-no vents. Toilet is about 24" from wall.
The last picture shows the pipe going into the wall before it goes vertical to the upstairs bathroom.
Any help would be appreciated. Should the cast iron be replaced?
Thanks for your time,
Jim
