Gurgling sink

[Toyo FJ40]

I've only seen 2 lav sinks drains piped together in moble homes. Code calls for each sink to have it's own trap. Kitchen sinks are considered the same sink.

Yes, there are two sinks together. Measuring (on the countertop from one sink to the other) they are about 2 1/2 feet from each other.

I'm not sure what you are asking me what do I see in the cabinet underneath the sink? I can take a picture if that would help you.

You may very well need a plumber but ever if you hire it out you should know whats going on.


You are probably already familiar with the trap under the sink, a certain amount of water is suppose to be trapped there to make a seal to keep gases from the waste system from coming into the room. for this to work both sides of the trap need to be vented to the atmosphere, if the drain system is sealed when you pour a gallon of water down the drain a gallon of air has to come out somewhere, it will push past one of the traps making a gurgling sound, as the water exits the drain system a gallon of air must enter the drain, again without a vent it will push past a trap making a gurgling sound.


Are the two sinks next to each other? you would think they would be plumbed together like a double kitchen sink each sharing a single trap,


What do you see in the cabinet under the sinks?

if bogus is thinking what I am thinking they may be missing a sanitary tee?

There would be 1 trap with both sinks teed together if it was plumbed like a kitchen sink. If it's done right it should have a trap under each sink.
