Usually this happens when a clog is moved suddenly by the weight of water bearing down on it.

If this happens all the time then you have a problem. Either there's a clog in the line, or your drain line is not up to the task.


If females are using the toilet to dispose of sanitary napkins, show them where the trash can is. (You wouldn't believe the clogged lines ....)


If it happens following defecation then try using less toilet paper, or flushing more often throughout the process.


If it happens following urination also, then call a plumber or roto-rooter.

Why do your drains gurgle when they drain?

They gurgle because of the sudden release of air. You have this gurgle because your vent pipes are either stopped up, in the wrong place, or are iadequate in size. When you drain water the you put pressure on the air in the drain lines. This pressure is actually sewage gas and should go out through your vent stack(s). You will need to repair or reppace your vents for this problem to be corrected.


Why does water gurgle and come out of the kitchen sink when your toilet is flushed?

There is an air pocket in one of your pipes, or you could have a small clog. I had the same problem and live in Canada so I got Roto Rooter up to clean out my pipes. It didn't cost that much.


Why does bathroom sink gurgle when you shower?

It just depends on the way your bath/sinks are plumbed vs the amount of vent air available. If you system is designed with adequate air venting the "gurgle" will be reduced or eliminated.


Why would your kitchen drain gurgle loudly when your washer drains even though they are in different rooms?

your drains are probably on the same waste line. by upc code your waste line should tie into your main sewer line 6 feet from any horizontal to vertical change in direction. this is due to the fact that the sudds from your washer can actually go up your drain line. It is possible you have a non functioning vent. The heavy flow of water into the wast line from the washer can be causing air to enter into the wast line from the kitchen waist line. Gurgle sounds come from the air pulling through a trap serving the kitchen sink. If you live in a very old house you may not have a vent at all or you may have a vent line run in steel pipe. Scale and rust can dislodge and fall down into the vent line and plug it up. An undersized vent or if in winter an iced up vent can cause the same problem. David A partial block in the mainline sewer can also cause this. Find your clean out and watch when your washer drains. If you see it backup at all, you've got to get it cleaned out.

When you have a shower toilet gurgles water backs up what do you do?

Your drain line is plugged somewhere after your shower and toilet line are connected. The reason for the gurgle in your toilet is because air is trapped in the drain and your toilet is the closest place for air to flow to. If you had a vent on your toilet trap arm then it would gurgle in the vent rather in your toilet but your drain is still plugged and needs to be snaked out and maybe your drain line needs to be examined for right grade or broken.
