The toilet's vent lets air into the drain so the flush flows freely and the trap stays sealed.
The signs
Gurgling after a flush, a weak flush, or sewer smells near the toilet can all point to a blocked or missing vent.
The causes
A blocked roof vent, a wet vent that is too small, or a remodel that removed a vent are common.
The fix
