Bubbling, Click and What!?

When your home's plumbing starts bubbling, it’s more than just an odd noise; it can be an early warning sign of underlying issues. Here are key things to watch out for:

1. Slow Drains or Backups: Bubbling often occurs when air is trapped due to a clog. If water takes longer to drain or backs up, it could signal a blockage in your pipes.

2. Foul Odors: Sewer gas escaping through bubbling pipes can indicate a venting issue. Persistent bad smells should never be ignored.

3. Water Pressure Changes: Unusual pressure fluctuations may suggest a blockage or even a leak somewhere in the plumbing system.

4. Bubbling in Unused Fixtures: If a sink bubbles when you're using another drain, it might indicate a main line problem requiring immediate attention.

5. Persistent Bubbling: This might point to a more serious issue like tree root infiltration or damaged pipes. Call a plumber promptly!
