    Noise in pipes
    I live in a mobile home and when I use the shower it girgles in the toilet. When I use the washer it girgles in the kitchen sink. Do I have something plugged some place? Please help!

    Hello, it sounds like you may have a partially clogged sewer line, if there is a clean out
    Outside your home you might want to check to make sure it isn't backing up. Run water down the clean out with a garden hose for a few minutes to see if it doesn't start to back up. If it checks out OK run your shower to see if the toilet still gurgles, if it does then there may be a problem under the house. You may need to rooter out the drainline under your home. If that doesn't take care of the problem then it might be a venting problem. Most mobile homes have auto vents systems, it only allows for air to inter, but does not allow air to escape. Check for clogging first then get back to us and let us know what you find.
    Good luck-----Zeke
