Plumbing problem
5 Answers
My daughter lives in a smallish flat and has just had a new bathroom fitted. The bathroom is adjacent to the kitchen and presumably uses the same waste pipes. Whenever she empties (for example) tea leaves / coffee grounds down the kitchen sink there is a gurgling noise and some of the kitchen waste appears up through the bath plughole. I know one answer is to use teabags / coffee bags but this doesn't address the root cause of the problem. Is there some form of one-way valve or trap that can be inserted somewhere in the waste pipe run to stop this happening?
