[QUOTE="Droff, post: 4389607, member: 26615"] Got on the roof today like a dumb*ss, pretty damn windy and cold. Ran an electrical pull 'snake' down the vent until it hit bottom and pushed it further through the connection, several times. I pulled it back up and it was clean as when I snaked it down there. I don't think the vent is the issue. *Back to this later..... Seeing too many comments pointing at the disposal, which I replaced several months ago (3rd one over the years). Not sure how it is the issue but running out of culprits. I've been in this house 30 years with a disposal and haven't had this issue previously. I pulled that trap again today and fingered around up into the disposal with nothing coming out, re-attached and back to continued gurgling. I understand that a drain needs a vent, air helps things drain, which is why I'm a bit confused looking under my sink.. My sink is not on an island but is out on an island with no wall around it to run a vent stack. There is no vent under the sink, just a clean out. House was built this way. The closest vent is a sink in the garage, which is what I snaked. Where to place an air induction valve/air admittance valve - if a resolution? [/QUOTE]
