What Causes Bubbling Toilets?

If your toilet starts to act up, chances are there’s an underlying problem that needs an immediate fix. This includes bubbling or gurgling. At first, a bubbling toilet will seem harmless. However, unwanted waste might start overflowing from your toilet and cause property damage when left neglected for too long.

If the bubbling persists, contact DrainMaster for a thorough drain cleaning in Columbus, OH. Besides hiring us to deal with the problem, it pays to learn about the common issues that lead to bubbling toilets.

Clogged Sewer Line

A bubbling toilet may imply that the sewer line is clogged. If water fails to go down the sewer line as smoothly as it’s supposed to, bubbles will form in the gaps in the pipe. If these air gaps fill with water going down the drain, bubbles back up the drain line and into your toilet. The best solution to this issue is to seek sewer repair and drain cleaning services to get into the root of the problem.

We will perform an in-depth inspection of your piping system to locate and determine the cause of the clog. If drain snaking isn’t enough to remove the clog, we may perform hydro jetting, which uses high-pressure water that cuts through the toughest blockages and scours your pipes clean.

Blocked Vent Stack

When you pour water out of a pitcher, it never pours out consistently. Instead, it sloshes and sputters until you pour out enough water. This circumstance is caused by the water in the pitcher keeping air from being able to get into the space behind it, creating a vacuum.

This same circumstance happens in your pipes, but it’s more difficult for the air to get back through and relieve the vacuum. This is where vent stacks come in to solve the problem. However, when the vent stacks get blocked, air can’t pass through, resulting in bubbling noises when water goes down the drains. Don’t wait until it’s too late to fix your clogged drain and vent stack, and contact us immediately to resolve the issue.
