    Toilet bubbling through bath and vice versa

    Pretty self explanatory title, but when we flush our toilet it causes the plug in our bath to bubble, and let’s out a bad smell. Vice versa, when we empty the bath the toilet makes a noise. They aren’t even in the same room, as our toilet is separate from the bathroom. We have a plumber...
