    Shower gurgles when toilet is flushed. AAV?
    Host:

    Only recently, My shower gurgles when the toilet is flushed. I read your response to a similar question with the response, "Somehow you're not venting the system. Check the AAV to be sure it's working.". I do not however, know what an AAV is (or where it is located), could you expand on this?

    Hey Larry,
    You probably don't have a AAV,(Air Admittance Valve) (see image)for a vent. It's more likely you're vented by the lavatory roof vent.. This cold be iced up or be blocked by leaves or a dead critter but I would snake from the lavatory roof vent. Put out enough cable to reach the base and about 18 feet more. Good luck, tom
