Frost closure on the vent?

 

Horizantal filling up enought to block vent but not enough to overflow from rim of fixture?

 

Ding ding ding! I think we have a winner! This would be my guess too.

 

Well you say you ran the line 28'...
But is it clear? :whistling2:

What does it drain to... Sewer, Septic, Lift Station?

My bet is RED is onto something .. is it on a septic? when was it last pumped?

 

I would be interested in what clean outs say, As RW is thinking sewer line may be having issues. That's where my money is at.

 

I rodded sink/washer drain few weeks back, could not get it to drain right no matter what I tried, and I tried hard. Commodes all flushed fine, showers, tubs, all no issues. Long story short, next day I dug up sewer line and wa la , sluggish sewer line. Rodded it and end of story. Weird.

 

Long story short!! Yup your right, Have 4" mains out of buildings tieing into 6" run for 200 feet out of the building where the burper is. The 6" tees 6x8x6 then continues to the cities main in 8". The first for me to see a 8" line used.. Have 365 units, all single bathrooms, 2 laundry rooms w/8 washers in total. The city line here is 8"!! sluggish no more, 3" "C" cutter spread open to 4" on the end of 240' of 1" cable!
That line is cleaned! *pulled cable out by hand, wished I had a truck!!

 

Vent issue or big belly in line.

 

Give it some Tums.

 

It does sound like a acid problem...

I like pepto myself... try pouring some of that down and see what happens

 

I one time came across a vent that was packed with moss. On top of the moss was about 15 to 20 acorns. Damn squirrels were slowly smoking their acorns with terd flavored hickory chips!!

 

:laughing:

 

Remember the fart removing toilets by American Standard...the vent away....problematic for repairs.........anytime there is burping or gurgling I think the evidence always points to the lateral being full and not to the vent......those were some threads ( to vent or not to vent ) with die hard passion...now the answer is nailed in 3 or 4 posts....BORING......
Cant talk about side jobs without a dead horse being flogged....BORING.....
No flat rate vs. t&m fights or copper vs. pex....BORING....

I had this problem once and it was a 2x4 in the main line that would turn free when a ran a machine but clog back up a day later, after 2 times in the same month a ran a camera and retrieved it
