Hello
Currently I am having an issue with my half bath toilet not flushing properly. It seems on some days it doesn’t want to flush and others it will. When flushing my main toilet the half bath toilet will bubble (As shown in video). Tomorrow I plan to take off the clean out under the house and use an inspection camera to look at drain line (snaking if needed with a 50ft manual auger). Does this seem like a clog issue or an air vent issue? I did in the spring time I did run a garden hose down the air pipe closest to my main toilet and I could hear the water flowing through the drain line under the house. It seems in time pressure builds up for a while then random time it is releases. Before I spending hundreds on a plumber figured I’d come here for some advise or direction. I got my own septic field and few years ago I got it pumped (Only 2 people live here). My septic field is new in 2009 and is 1350 gallon. Never had any type of backs or anything in any toilets or sinks. Main toilet works fine , but it does seem to double flush and take in quiet a bit of air when flushing.
