How To Diagnose Toilet Gurgling ?

No homeowner likes to hear to a gurgling sound from the toilet because this sound is indicative of a problem in the sewer system of the house

. This indication is of both, a minor problem which can be easily rectified or a major one.

That "gurgle" noise you hear from a building drain might mean that there is a problem with the drain system itself, such as a partial drain blockage, a drain venting problem, a drain odor problem, or even a failing septic system.

Here are certain points explained in detail that are the main causes for a gurgling toilet. The most common is the formation of the clog in the toilet line.

Toilet clogs or chokes occur when an object becomes lodged in the drain or the pipe and prevents water from passing through to the sewer system or septic tank. People often run tissues, hair and other debris down the drain that causes toilet to clog and gurgle overtime.

If a gurgling sound is heard at a sink or shower drain only when a nearby toilet is flushed, or at a sink or shower when a nearby tub is draining, we'd suspect that the building drain-vent system is inadequate.

Some sort of the blockage in the vent may be the reason for a minimized air flow that may be causing gurgling. A periodical inspection of the vent for any obstruction due to external debris, like leaves, a tree branch or an animal home can prevent this problem to crop up.

If the outside sewer line is partially blocked, or if waste piping to a septic tank or from a septic tank to a drain field is partially blocked, the building drains may appear to work normally until there is a surge of usage such as an increase in occupants or when using a washing machine. Here a complete sewer blockage is indicated.

A homeowner may or may not be able to determine the cause of a gurgling toilet on his own. The assistance of a qualified plumber may be necessary.
