Drains

[cindys0417il]

Today I just noticed that my toilet wouldn't flush right like something was caught. Then I got it working ok and when I went to wash a load of clothes, when the tub was draining out, I heard a gurgling noise by the drain in the kitchen and when I went back by the bathroom, most of the water was out of the toilet. Do you think something could be caught in the line or there is a problem with the drains? Please help.

Inspect all your roof vents (plumbing) and all your screw on Air Check Vents inside home under cabinets , etc. if applicable.


Most likely a blockage somewhere and water from toilets is being siphoned out.

(Air Check Vents inside home under cabinets)

How do you know if they are bad and how do check them.

They are about $5 each give or take where bought at. Most homes will have none to 5-6 maybe.

$40 or less usually covers them, if older than 5 years, replace them.


They have a rubber flap inside that hardens and does not open as needed.
