What are the symptoms of clogged vent stacks?
I've had my sewer line (is this called the lateral?) cleaned this week -- twice. And the city has checked their end of the line and gave the all clear. Why don't the plumbers check the vent stack when they are here? Yes, the main was clogged first time. Second time, found only a small stoppage at the tie in... they ran about 100+ line.
One toilet.. the one on the back end.. still doesn't like to flush and makes bubble sounds when I run the sink next to it for a minute. It flushes well with nothing in it.. I've noticed.
Are plumbers like us computer people... trouble-shoot one step at a time? If something is working... leave.. then come back if things act up, still?
I would just like to have someone confirm that everything is ok and it is just the sewer line out front giving me fits. I don't have the funds, yet, for a camera...
