Just had brand new bathroom and brand new plumbing system installed as part of full house refurb.
When the bath drains, it gurgles loudly. The plumber assured me this was normal and is a sign that the pipes are running nicely and there was nothing he needed to do. The contractor said it gurgles in his house too.
Is this correct? Is bath gurgling ever the sign of a well running system?
I always understood it meant there is an air pocket for some reason whether blockage or air getting in somehow. (a) Pls can someone clarify. and (b) Is it something I can rectify myself with a plunger or requires more intrusive remedies?
Thx
