My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Island Loop Vent System

18 years ago

I have an Island Loop Vent System and occassionally I have experienced when draining the sink that the system starts to back up, gurgle, and then drain slowly as if it had an air lock.

I have had it snaked out and found nothing clogging it. What would be causing this and how do I fix it?
