I noticed that when my washer drains, the toilet bowl in my laundry room bubbles from the displaced air in the sewer line. No, the sewer line isn't clogged, I've checked. This sometimes siphons all the water out of the toilet bowl, allowing sewer gases to escape until I next flush the toilet to refill the bowl and reestablish the water seal.
This toilet isn't the lowest sewer connection in the house - I have a drain in my basement that's lower and doesnt run into any siphoning issues. None of my toilets on higher floors exhibit this issue.
Any idea what's causing this or how to prevent it?
