    Noise from tub drain
    I have a separate shower stall and jacuzzi tub. When the shower is on I hear a gurgling sound coming from the tub drain. What can be causing this?

    Sounds like a blocked vent stack, the drain is venting into your tub because the stack is lugged. Usually best to rod from the roof to the basement and then 15 ' more.
