Having some water draining problems that might be hard to describe, so hang with me. Whenever we run the bathroom sink for longer than 10 seconds, we can hear the water begin to bubble up in the shower drain. Whenever we take long showers (again, not that we should), the water begins to build up in the base of the shower. I took a plunger to the shower drain a bunch of sediment-filled water came up into the sink.
Last year we discovered that when renovations were done to our bathroom several years before we moved in, that the bathroom was improperly ventilated (the guy did beautiful work in the house but took some sever shortcuts), and that it was going to cost almost 10k to re-do all the piping in the bathroom. On some level, because of this, we expect a small amount of draining problems because we know there's bad venting, but it seems to have gotten worse lately. The problem is just too expensive to fix, and definitely not worth it in our place, so we're hoping for a temporary solution, and that the next owner, with our full disclosure, will be willing to put up the money to fix everything.
So my question is this - does this sound like a little clog? Can we get a temporary fix in before calling the pros?
