What it usually is
Gurgling after the toilet flushes or when another fixture drains often means a partial blockage in the line or a blocked vent. It tends to get worse until the drain backs up.
What to do first
Note which fixtures gurgle and when. Avoid chemicals and call before the line backs up.
The flat rate that covers it
- Single drain clearing (accessible cleanout): $189
- Diagnosis / service call (plumbing or electrical): $79
South Hill, around Puyallup, is mostly newer subdivisions, townhomes and apartments built in recent decades along with some older homes. Newer South Hill homes usually have modern supply lines and fixtures, so calls tend to be fixtures, water heaters and breaker or outlet work rather than failed pipe.
