∙ 13y agoIt could be bad plumbing, ie. pipes with insufficiant fall on them slowing the flow and causing the second most common cause, grease, to build up in the pipes. Rodding with a drain spring may remove any blockage along with very hot water or a proprietory drain cleaning solution.

∙ 8y agoThe most common kitchen drain problems are caused by dumping unsuitable foodstuff in the drain. I see many plugged drains with fish bones, rice, fatty substances, and similar . Needless to say, all waste food should go into a garbage bag, NOT down the drain. Vent issues are very seldom a problem, this would have been noticed as soon as the kitchen was used back when it was new

What would cause kitchen sink drain to gurgling when shower is running?
your vent on your shower or kitchen (if you have one) is not working and either the air from the water in the shower drain is carried down stream till it T's off to your kitchen sink then the air follows to your kitchen sink drain line backwards and to your kitchen sink trap and then bubbles through your trap because your water in your kitchen trap can not drain but the air has enough pressure to go through it OR your water from your shower is flowing past your kitchen drain T and making a siphon which causes air to go through your kitchen trap and makes the gurgling sound one way to fix the problem is to add a Vent line on your kitchen drain and your shower drain with in 42" on 1 1/2 or 60" on 2" on your trap arm if you want to follow the UPC code. Note to above Respondent: That little dot next to the question mark is a "period". Try throwing one in once in a while.
Why would your kitchen sink drain slow at times and normal at other times if the septic tank is empty and could this be a vent problem?
Kitchen sink drains are a fertile environment for certain forms of life, and these can cause the drain to run slow. When hot water is run down the drain, it kills some of the lifeforms, allowing the drain to run freely for a while. Try using a drain cleaner, or a drain snake, to clean out the drain. Never pour grease down a drain, as it cools and solidifies quickly in the pipes.
