Slow Gurgling Drains

Everytime my wife runs the Dishwasher or drains water from the Kitchen sink, water gurgles up from the bathroom sink. Also the tub water drains very slowly there appears to be no clog in the tub to trap. please help me if you know

You might have a plug in the sink drain or the pipe going off of the sink, some time the kitchen sinks drain or line tends to plug up from the waste of the garbage disposale, and that could possibly be creating havoc for the rest of your system. Try putting some drano down kitchen sink on the side that garbage disposal is not otn usually right side or snake or plunge it which ever you feel comfortable with.

I do not recommend putting harsh chemicals in your drainage system. They only seem to work in TV commercials. You have a partial blockage in the horizontal drain line in the wall. Remove the "J" bend from the trap and send a snake into the wall. You will run into a elbo about 8 inches in but once around that you'll only have 6 more feet of cable to run out. Flush with hot water. Good luck, Tom

sorry if i misdirrected you with drano, but from my experience with a SLOW not plugged drain this seems to work . I do it with my bath tub drain when needed and it works great afterwards. Sorry again if i misdirrected you.
