It&#8217;s most likely a sign of a bigger problem and one that needs to be addressed before the damage gets bigger and the cost to fix it gets bigger too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buy why would your drains be gurgling? &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>The most common reason that you are hearing that gurgling sound is because air has gotten into your drain pipes and that is usually caused by a blockage or problem with your sewer vent system.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is A Gurgling Sink Dangerous?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Well &#8211; a gurgling sink is not necessarily &#8220;dangerous&#8221; meaning that it&#8217;s not going to explode or anything. But &#8211; it is definitely a sign that there is a problem that should not be ignored because it&#8217;s only going to turn into a much bigger problem that will end up costing you more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if your definition of &#8220;dangerous&#8221; is that it will cost you alot of money to fix, then yes, it can be dangerous if you don&#8217;t get the issue fixed right away. So, we do recommend that you contact a plumber immediately to get the issue assessed and corrected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re hearing that gurgling sound just from one sink then the problem could simply be in your sink vent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you are experiencing any of these following signs, then there&#8217;s more than likely a problem somewhere throughout the entire venting system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gurgling sounds from multiple sink drains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Water in your sinks are draining slowly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You smell sewer odors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your toilet is flushing slowly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do You Fix A Gurgling Drain?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the problem is most often caused by your sewer vents then that is the first place to look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sewer vents are located on the roof of your house. They allow the gases that build up in your sewer system to escape into the air so that you don&#8217;t have that awful sewer smell in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We highly recommend that you get this issue assessed and fixed by a professional plumber. Climbing around your roof trying to fix a sewer vent is not something that the majority of homeowners are equipped to do safely or even correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions or problems with your plumbing drains, call Atlantis Plumbing today at&nbsp;<a href=\"tel:+17704438229\">770-443-8229<\/a>.
