OK, I figure one of you guys out there has had this problem. A couple of days ago the toilet started not flushing right. I plunged it, then snaked it. No problem with toilet. Pulled toilet, down pipe clean, and would take water OK. New wax seal, toilet back in place. Also when the sink or bathtub is drained, you here gurgle gurgle through the toilet. I did some checking around, all these are symptons of a plugged vent pipe. OK, I attempted to snake my vent pipe last night after dark, no luck and discovered bats in the attic.....I gave up on that with bats flying around...dark, wind blowing, on a ladder, etc... Yes I considered them in the vent pipe... Today the bathroom system appears to be air locked, nothing wanting to go down any of the three drains. Just to be sure I poured drain cleaner down the tub to clear anything there.. currently waiting on that to work. I cannot get a snake down the bathtub drain, it has a 90 that I can't get past, same with the sink (common drain). Finally my question. Has anyone tried one of these things that force water down the drain?? I have about 60psi at the sink, and really do not want the mess of a blown pipe, under house w no basement etc... I have thought about buying some small 1/2" hose and running that down the vent pipe.. Any one had this problem and solved it without spending $$$$$$$$$$Rob
