My 2 toliets continue to overflow. Checked the following: breathers (even installed a temporary new one outside the house.) tail lines (how have new lines) new toliets clogged pipes from toliets to tank tank to lines connections lines from toliets to tank pitch of the plumbing line Have also taken the lid off the tank then flushed water is going into the tank. Washing machine is located in the master bath and when it drains the water level in the toliet is lowered. Sometime when you flush the toliet in the master bathroom the toliet and sink that are located at the far in of the house make a bubbling noice What is my problem and how do I fix it? Help…..

Help…..Im not sure I understand your problem. There is only one way for water to get into the toilet bowl. Through the valve that feeds the tank. It is controlled by the ballcock which is the large ball float in the tank. By bending the small rod that connects the ball to the valve, you control the amount of water in the tank. The lower the ball sits in the tank, the smaller the amount of water in the tank. Then you flush the toilet. The water in the tank passes into the bowl. If the float or shut off valve is working properly, it will lower as the water level in the tank is lowering until it shuts off the water flowing into the bowl. Regulating the amount of water flowing into the bowl will prevent overflow. If the problem is that the water is not flowing from the bowl to the septic, then its a blockage of some sort in the drain or a drain pipe that does not drain downwards but goes upwards, allowing backflow into the bowl. If this doesnt solve your problem, let me know. Ill try to help.
