    Washer is causing toilets and sinks to make gurgle noise
    Just today I've noticed when the washer is draining, the toilets and sinks make a gurgling noise, not necessarily a burp because the water level in the toilets remain the same. When I use the sinks or toilets there isn't any noise. The noise first started in just the sinks and only when the washer drains. Could the cold weather be causing the junk in the lines to solidify?

    The "gurgle" you hear is the washer venting through the traps in the toilet and other fixture traps. This is caused by a blocked washer vent. The solution would be to snake the washer roof vent. Put out enough cable to reach the base and 20 feet more. Good luck, Tom

    Thank you so much Tom. After I sent out my question I saw other similar ones. We tried snaking the vent and it worked. I was hoping it would be you to answer me.
    Happy Holidays Tom!!
