Problem:
  • My toilet will suddenly not flush when I'm operating the shower in that bathroom.
Additional info:
  • The toilet also bubbles when the shower is running. Toilet operates fine before/after shower. Other toilets, sinks, and showers in my house drain perfectly fine.
What I've already tried:
  • Plunging the toilet
  • Augering (3ft) the toilet
  • Plunged & augered the toilet in the adjacent bathroom
  • Snaked (20ft) an upstream tub overflow drain
  • Snaked (20ft) an adjacent downstream clean-out
Considering tonight:
  • Longer toilet auger (6ft)
  • Snake exterior cleanout (upstream/downstream)
  • Hose bladder attachment thingy down the roof vent

Any suggestions?

If you can get a 3/4" snake I would snake upstream and downstream if you have a 4" running trap

If worse comes to worse remove the toilet and carefully snake the piping with no less then a 1/2" cable and push it past the lead bend before you start the machine
