Gurgling sounds from your toilet, shower, or sink are an early warning sign of a partial blockage that will get worse.
If you're hearing gurgling sounds coming from your toilet when you flush, or from your shower drain after the water empties, this is your plumbing system telling you something is wrong. Gurgling occurs when air is trapped in the drain system — usually because a partial blockage is preventing water from flowing freely. The air has to escape somewhere, and it bubbles back up through your fixtures, creating that distinctive gurgling noise.
Why you shouldn't wait
A partial blockage will become a complete blockage. What starts as a slow drain will eventually become a completely blocked drain — often at the worst possible time, like when you have guests or during heavy rain. Tree roots are a common cause of gurgling drains in Gold Coast homes, as fig trees and other large trees send roots into sewer pipes in search of water.
What to do
Call Pinky's Plumbing for a drain inspection. We use CCTV camera technology to look inside your pipes and identify exactly what's causing the problem. Catching it early means a simple high-pressure water jet clean rather than an expensive dig-up.
