Followup on https://poal.co/s/DIY/726745. When my washer drained, it'd create a suction and drain my toilet bowl...allowing sewer gases to escape. I ran my endoscope down my sewer vent and found a desiccated bird's nest (complete with a bird I'm pretty confident died when Ramses II was still reigning). I cleaned that out and now everything is functioning as expected. No more toilet draining, no more sewer gases.

Thanks to everyone for your advice, it helped!

Glad to hear it! With modern construction where inspection actually occurs, improper/insufficient venting is fairly rare. However I've seen houses with drain lines running over 10 feet to a drop without venting.

@stupidbird - Sounds like there's a need to schedule and commission a new spy drone.

We already did. Thank you for noticing.
