I flushed my downstairs toilet last night and while washing my hands heard a "gurgle" a bit like after I've run water in the basin, but this gurgle came from the toilet. It looked as though the water level in the pan was very low at the end of the flush so I poured a little more in and thought no more of it. Having flushed it again this morning, the exact same thing has happened.
Google suggests that I may need to rod the outside drains, but surely if there was a blockage, the toilet would drain slowly after flushing, not empty right out? Or is it siphoning because there's something not right further down the pipe? I do have a set of drain rods and I'm not afraid to use them when I get home tonight if required!
