I am experiencing slow drainage. The 1st floor toilet has started to gurgle when the second floor toilet is flushed. I have a vent pipe in the lawn that seemed to have a bit more water than usual in it (12 vs 4 or so) Called drain cleaning co & they said the couldnt snake out to the main sewer line. Said they couldnt get past the trap and that I would have to get a plumber to dig uo the trap. My questions: 1. what is the structure at the base of the vent pipe? 2. Are there any alternatives to digging? (Vent pipe goes down about 10 and its another 60 feet to the main sewer under a state highway. How can I be sure before I spend megabucks? Thanks. george

CALL ANOTHER DRAIN COMPANY! THE GURGLE IS CAUSED BY YOUR SEWER LINE FILLING UP WITH WATER WHICH DISPLACES AIR PUSHING IT UP AND OUT YOUR DOWNSTAIRS TOILET. IT MAKES A SOUND LIKE BLUP, BLURP, BLUP.I AM FROM ANOTHER PART OF THE COUNTRY WHERE WE DONT HAVE IN-LINE SEWER TRAPS BUT I KNOW THEM TO BE COMMON & I KNOW THEY CAN BE WORKED FROM. GET ON THE PHONE & TALK TO SEVERAL OTHER COMPANYS. SURELY YOU CAN FIND SOMEONE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT HEROICS & HUGE $$$$$$. LANE. : I am experiencing slow drainage.
