When I flush the toilet the toilet drain gurgles?

A gurgling toilet drain often indicates a venting issue or a blockage in the plumbing system. The vent pipe allows air to enter the drainage system, helping water flow smoothly; if it's blocked, you may hear gurgling sounds as air is forced through the pipes. Alternatively, a partial blockage in the drain line can create a vacuum, leading to similar noises. It's advisable to inspect the vent and drainage for any obstructions or consult a plumber if the problem persists.


Why would a toilet make a noise that sounds like a jammed vacuum cleaner when flushed?

A toilet making a noise resembling a jammed vacuum cleaner when flushed could indicate a problem with the fill valve or a blockage in the plumbing. The fill valve may be malfunctioning, causing water to flow erratically, while a blockage could restrict water flow, leading to unusual sounds. Additionally, issues with the toilet’s flapper or tank components could create abnormal noises. It's advisable to inspect these parts or consult a plumber for a thorough diagnosis.

There is slight blockage in the pipe probably further down, the pipe needs a good cleaning througout the length of the pipe, preferably with a wire/brush type cleaner, checmical cleaners or drain type cleaners may be too weak to clean it due to the length of the pipe.

What to do in a second floor apartment of a 9 story block when there are daily loud gurgling sounds coming from the shower drain the smell of sewer gas and a plumber says all is in order?

Sounds like a clogged vent. Let's assume you're somewhere upstairs toward the upper floors. Someone flushes below you, a vacuum is created in the pipe above, pulling your shower drain trap dry (the gurgling sound). NOw you've got a trap with no water in it, allowing the sewer gas to escape through the drain (the stench). Tell them they need to clean out or unblock the vent stack on the roof.
