    Need some drains snaked. Likely either main drain (2easily accessible cleanout) and or main vent. Basement bathroom is gurgling and upstairs bathroom is slow draining.
    Looking to get this taken care of asap if possible. Also, if you know any plumbers you recommend, drop some names

    drains

    Having had this problem, I can say that save yourself a ton of money and just rent a power snake from home depot. $50 for 4 hours compared to having a plumber charge you about $375 for the first hour and about $80 every 1/2 hour after. You can do it yourself it's pretty easy.

    Baltimore County will snake the drain from the street to your house for free. They respond fast, I called once and they were out within a couple of hours.

    If the clog is inside, try one of those 10-20' hand crank snakes and run it through all of the clean outs and toilets. If that doesn't do it,, rent a powered one.

    The county will only do from the outside cleanout to the main line. I know because this is exactly what I do for AA county. This may fix the problem, but the slow drains could be separate clogs in those drains. But do call the county first.

    Thanks everyone for the input. I already called a plumber to come out, but I have a new approach for next time

    Let us know what they do to fix it, I'd definitely be curious. I've noticed our basement toilet gurgles when the upstairs toilet is flushed too. I don't know why
