Toilets can show a number of different strange behaviors that indicate a problem, and one of those behaviors is bubbling in your toilet bowl. Bubbling in your toilet may seem harmless enough, but it could indicate something bigger is going on. Even small symptoms could indicate a larger problem, and a bigger plumbing service is necessary to get it fixed, so you’ll want to tackle the issue right away. Here are a few of the most common plumbing issues that could lead to bubbling as well as gurgling noises coming from your toilet.
Leak Detection/Repair
Unless you have children who have spilled something and hesitated to tell you, the answer is unfortunately not usually a good thing: this usually indicates the presence of a slab leak. When your home is constructed, plumbing lines are usually run through the foundation, and are then cemented into place when concrete is poured to form the slab the house is built on. If you have an older home constructed with galvanized steel plumbing, a slab leak can form purely over time as your pipes corrode, but there are other causes as well, like foundation shifting or earthquake damage.
Pipe Repair/Replacement
You may think a small leak in your pipes is not a big deal, but you would be making a big mistake. A tiny leak may start off as insignificant, but it can quickly turn into something much worse. Without your knowledge, a leak can continue for quite some time until it eventually bursts the pipes and causes flooding. On top of that, a small leak can begin the formation of mold and mildew in the surrounding area, or even wood rot if you have wood material for flooring or in your walls. In some cases, a pipe replacement will be required instead of a simple patch job.
Backflow Testing/Prevention
Faucet Repair/Replacement
If your faucets have a cloudy look to them, it’s probably because they’ve been stained by your tap water. Especially if you have hard water, minerals are going to collect around your appliances over time. The scummy and scaly deposits that result is calcium buildup is harmless but look pretty nasty. Follow this helpful guide for getting rid of calcium buildup, or contact our Simi Valley plumbers at Dutton Plumbing for faucet repair.

You’ve taken great pride to make sure your bathroom is clean as a whistle, and yet seemingly out of nowhere you have a small puddle of water sitting on ground after your first flush. That wasn’t there before, and it clearly didn’t come from the tank, so what happened? Toilet leaks at the base of the bowl are usually pretty easy to fix, and this guide will show you how. First, let's take a look at some of the most common reasons for toilet leaks. Then we'll cover the tools you'll need for the repair, and finally walk through the steps to fix the leak.

Clogged Toilet
Sometimes, a clogged toilet is really a result of a clogged drain. Toilet drains are responsible for removing waste and flushable items from the toilet itself and through sewer lines. When a clog occurs somewhere in the drain, it can lead to serious problems—like a toilet that won’t flush or, worse, slowly starts to back up and overflow.
Fixing this problem is a fairly routine plumbing procedure. It can be done by either snaking your drain, which involves using an auger to reach down into the drain and physically remove the clog to open the drain line. In other cases where the clog is located further down the drain line but is still accessible through an access cover, clogs can be cleared through a process known as “hydrojetting.”
Drain Cleaning
Pipes make noise. But if your drains are making persistent gurgling or banging sounds, frequently emanating from your sink or elsewhere in your house, there may be something going on that’s out of the ordinary.
