Local Plumbers Are a Click Away

When My Sink Drains,
I Hear A Gurgling Sound.

Do I Need A Plumber?


If you’ve heard gurgling sounds coming from your pipes while your sinks are draining, you may have thought that you had gremlins. Rest assured, there is no supernatural phenomenon taking place. In fact, gurgling sounds made by sinks that are draining are a result of air that is trapped in the pipes. Usually, the presence of air in the pipes signifies the need for putting a vent in the pipe. If you don’t know how to install a vent, then it is best to hire a plumber to do this work for you. A plumber will ensure that the vent is installed in the proper location, so it is always best to have a professional perform the installation.

Additionally, sometimes garbage disposals may become clogged up with debris or sediment. When this occurs, the pipes may have air trapped behind the blockages. If you notice a gurgling sound when using your kitchen sink, and you have a garbage disposal, it is possible that the source of the gurgling noise is coming from clogged pipes. Whether the gurgling noises are due to your garbage disposal or other pipes, it is important to have a professional plumber come and determine the source of the problem.
