I'm wondering if anyone can help with a plumbing related problem. We've recently moved into a rented house and have noticed that whenever the bath is drained (upstairs), there is a very loud gurgling noise, and water gurgles and splashes up through the sink in the kitchen. We've also noticed that water gurgles and splashes upstairs in the bath and bathroom basin when the kitchen sink is emptied downstairs.
Can anyone advise me what could possibly be causing this issue? And what needs to happen to resolve it?
Should the landlord be doing something to fix it, or is it something we will just have to live with? Bearing in mind that the landlord lived in the property themselves until very recently and must have been aware of the problem before we moved in, and probably chose to just live with it.
I must say I can't bear the thought of dirty bath water splashing around in the kitchen sink as I feel it's not very hygienic! But I don't know if we should be pushing the issue with the landlord on hygiene grounds, or if it's not really that bad and I just need to deal with it!
