Wasted my time and their time, couldn't diagnose a simple problem. Yes he was a master plumber. I found the solution on the internet, it even had a name for it. Sewer burp. Plumber sat on my tub for 40 minutes huffing and puffing and coming to the conclusion they were probably going to have to knock a hole in the side of my house to fix it. By now all I see is dollars flying out of my wallet. Rip off! Paid them almost $300.00 for nothing. Fixed it myself. A qualified plumber can fix problems leading to inadequate drain venting. This is a job for a professional. Inspecting vents involves climbing to the peak of your roof and visually checking for obstructions that interfere with proper venting. The usual suspects include bird's nests and accumulation of leaves or other wind-blown debris.
What Can Be Done
Frequently, the remedy for clogged plumbing vents is a jet of high-pressure water. This can flush material inside the vents down into the sewer line and out of your home. Most plumbing contractors have equipment designed for this purpose and can complete the job quickly and safely. Or if you are handy, you can do it yourself.
