I just put a new toliet in my brother's house in his upstairs bathroom. NOW, the toliet downstairs when you flush the new one upstairs, bubbles up??

11-23-2008 12:23 PMDid you put in a standard one or a powerflush? You could have a restriction in your soil stack- the instantaneous flow of a powerflush toilet coupled with a vent restriction can cause the problem you describe.

high volume flushing = larger vent pipe

11-23-2008 10:03 PMI had a rental that had this problem. Plumbed a tee into the bottom of the stack (3") and ran a 1.5" parallel up to the attic, then teed back in.
3" stacks are much more susceptible to these problems. Also, if you have a stack that doubles as your main drain, you have this. Some older construction has two- a down leg and a vent stack.
