A general home inspection looks at fixtures and visible piping, but it typically doesn't put a camera down the sewer lateral. That's a separate scope and worth asking about on an older house. Buyers around Riverside increasingly ask for it.

That's a venting problem. A big slug of water from the washer pulls air behind it, and if the vent can't supply that air the drain takes it through the nearest trap instead, which is the toilet. It gets worse as a vent partly blocks.

Stop running water anywhere in the house, and keep people off the affected floor. If the water is near a panel or an appliance, cut power to that circuit at the breaker. Then make the call rather than opening the cleanout yourself.

Often, though a sink that gets used regularly usually has water in its trap, so the smell may come from buildup on the pipe walls instead. A vent serving that branch can also be partly blocked. Which one it is decides the repair.

When one fixture is slow the problem is usually local, but when all of them slow down together the main line or its vent is involved. Roots, grease and a frosted-over vent all produce that pattern. It's not something to keep plunging at.
