My mom-in-law's bathroom is having drain troubles. After running the tub for a few minutes the drain line seems to fill up and then the water in the sink/tub will rise. The toilet also gurgles, as if air is being pushed out of it.
As a test, i flushed the toilet 3 times. The first two drained normally. The third flush drained part way then stopped draining. Listening to the pipe i could hear the water draining slowly.
I told her to call a plumber on monday to snake the line.
I removed the cleanout plug and was able to push a wire snake from there to the cast iron elbow, but couldn't get past the elbow.
I'll add some pictures of the drain asap...
Help please? Ideas on what could be wrong?
Thank you guys!
