Gurgling Drains in McLean? Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Ignore It
Gurgle, gurgle… what’s that sound really telling you?
I’m Dennis Rollins, U.S. Navy Veteran and owner of Veteran Plumbing Services.
If your drains in McLean are making weird noises, especially that gurgling sound when water goes down, it’s not just air.
It’s your home trying to tell you something’s wrong deep in the line.
What does gurgling really mean?
When you flush the toilet or run the sink and hear bubbling, it usually means the drain is struggling to breathe.
This happens when a blockage forms in the sewer line or vent stack, causing air to get trapped.
Instead of flowing smoothly, water and air compete for space.
That’s what creates the noise.
Other warning signs your drain may be failing:
- Slow-draining sinks or tubs
- Sewer smell coming from drains
- Backed-up water in sinks or tubs
- The toilet water rises when you run the sink
- Puddles forming outside near your cleanout
Drain issues in McLean are more common than you think
I’ve serviced homes all over McLean, and many of them have older pipes that weren’t built to handle today’s waste volume and kitchen grease.
Tree roots are another big problem here, especially in neighborhoods with mature landscaping.
Roots grow into the sewer line and choke the flow.
How I fix it fast and the right way
When I arrive, I bring a sewer camera to inspect the entire length of the drain.
If I see a clog, I’ll remove it using hydro-jetting or a drain snake no guesswork, no unnecessary digging.
And if your pipes are cracked or tree roots are invading, I’ll provide options for trenchless repair or replacement that won’t damage your yard.
If your McLean home is making gurgling noises, don’t wait for a flood.
