– When constructing the toilet, the ventilation system was not installed, or it was damaged or clogged, causing the toilet to make gurgling noises when flushing, because the gas cannot escape. The cause is that the gas produced during the decomposition of waste is not released outside, causing an increase in gas pressure inside the tank.
– Not only the ventilation system, but also the toilet drain pipe must be checked. Because there are also cases where the water pipe is clogged due to dirt accumulated for a long time without being cleaned periodically.
– Due to the septic tank being full. Septic tanks are often built tightly and are not ventilated.

When faced with this problem, you can only ask for support from septic tank pumping units.
