Solutions for Gurgling Bathroom Plumbing

Do you have bathroom drains that gurgle for a while after use? In older homes, it’s not uncommon for water to take longer to drain. The reason is that pipes used in the past were smaller in diameter than they are today. In addition, the home may not a have sufficient numer of vent pipes in the roof to aid in drain flow. When the systen is starved of outside airflow, the result is often gurgling sounds.

A professional plumber should clean out the drains with a drain snake or a high pressure drain cleaning machine. In many cases it’s not the floor drain that causes the problem, so be sure to have the upper reaches of the plumbing system inspected, including the vent pipes.
