I hope I am in the right category.
My house is 2 years old and has a septic tank system. This is a single level house over a full basement. This morning, for the 1st time, when running the washing machine we heard a loud gurgling noise in the kitchen sink. When we turned on the dish washer at the same time, the noise became more pronounced. It did not last long.

Any help would be appreciated

Hey Martin,

"Bubbles" and "Gurgles". They are both indicters that something's going on in your drainage system.
A "bubble" indicates a clogged line while a "gurgle" indicates a blocked vent. let me explain. When you flush the discharge drains down the pipe untill it hits a partial clog. Then it rebounds back sending a "bubble" of air ahead of it. When you flush a toilet or drain a bathtub a suction is created by the water rushing down the pipe. This suction is relieved by a open pipe that runs to the outside called a vent. When a vent's stopped up the suction has to relieve itself somwhere, in this case your sink. The noise you hear is the air being pulled through the trap by suction, (gurgle).
I would snake out both the washer and the kitchen roof vents. Put out enough cable to reach the base and about 20 feet more. good luck, Tom
