Gurgling noises from the kitchen sink?

Friday, December 5th, 2008
Kate asked:


My kitchen sink gurgles after our humidifier in our basement now and then empties into our basement tub sink which then empties into a sewage pump that is pumped out of the house via the sewage pipe. We just installed a new dishwasher and it started there, but the gurgling occurred in the basement sink as well before that. Anyone have any ideas? I’m just hoping nothing’s backing up or broken… or expensive to fix.

I cleaned my shower last night with comet. This morning, when i turned on the shower, bathroom sink, and kitchen sink, there was a pause like built up pressure, and then the greenish water that ran down my shower drain from the night before came spitting out. does this mean whenever i i turn on my faucet to get a drink i run the risk of drinking waste water.i rent an apartment. thanks for the help
i can understand if all the pipes drain into the same place but how can the tub drain back up and flow out of the kitchen faucet. isn’t it suppose to be a totally different system - incoming water supply / sewage drains. i don’t understand how that is even possible
