    Gurgles sounds from bathtup after toilet is flushed
    Every time we flush the toilet, we hear gurgle sounds coming from the bathtup and the water is slow draining from the bowl. I can't see any visible proplem with the vent pipe.
    Any idea what's causing this proplem?

    Your toilet's attempting to vent through the tubs trap. This points to a blocked vent. The solution's to snake the lavatory roof vent. Putout enough cable to reach the base and 20 foot more. Good luck, Tom
