- 2Why is my shower water bubbling and making a pulsing sound?Air trapped in the plumbing system or pressure changes triggered by running other fixtures like the toilet can cause water to sputter and bubble. This pulsing sound and erratic flow typically happens when the mixing handle is set between hot and cold, indicating a disruption in the water pressure or line aeration.
- 2Flexible accordion tub drain buried in concrete slabFlexible accordion-style tub drains are sometimes improperly installed and buried under concrete ground-floor slabs, leaving homeowners with no way to fix clogs or drainage issues without extensive demolition. Because digging up the concrete is often the only available solution, people are forced into destructive remodeling work just to service a faulty drain line.
- 2Why is there standing water in my shower drain?Shower drains are purposefully designed to hold a visible pool of water inside the trap to block sewer gases and odors from entering the home. As long as the water drains normally without backups, gurgling, or bad smells, this standing water is completely normal and expected.
