    Bathtub gurgles after flushing toilet
    Hello,

    After flushing the toilet our bathtub drain gurgles. There is also a shower separate from the bathtub in this bathroom and that drain does not gurgle. The house is about 4 years old and we had the septic pumped in the Fall 2006. Thank you! Butch and Lisa

    This isn't a drainage problem, It's a vent problem. Your bathroom group is venting through the tubs trap. This is the gurgle that you hear. The solution is to snake out the bathrooms lavatory roof vent. Put out enough cable to reach the base and 15 more feet. Flush the line with a tub full of hot water. Good luck, Tom
