Kitchen sink cloged, but rest of house fine... snake didnt help...NVM Date: March 21, 2018 12:24PM |
2 sinks, 70/30 split, small sink has disposal. Small sink gets clogged, running disposal forces yuck water back into main sink.... then nothing drains.
Ive taken apart the pipes below the sink, all clear. Ran a 25' snake down the drain the back, all clear.
When it gets full, unscrewing the the emergency drain on the outside of the house below the kitchen window instantly clears it. Of course, now all the water is in the flower bed.
Maybe a longer snake? Might not be reaching all the way to the main sewer line? Drano? Some other over the counter option before I call a plumber...

Snake from the emergency drain each way and see if you can clear it.

Wow, we have the exact same problem. I saw the subject and thought Mrs M A V I C had posted this. On Sunday I got a 25' snake and got it working well for a couple days, but now it backs up again (though not as quickly.) We don't have an emergency drain though, that I know of. I'm going to try Drano next.

Cloged drains require a very specifically manufactured snake.
Does the kitchen sink drain have its own vent ?

I've had very good luck with drain bladders but primarily on sewage lines downstream from the cleanout. They'll work in the smaller house line drains as well but some particular conditions need to exist (no vents or other fixture between the bladder and clog). Overview: [www.thespruce.com]
They're cheap too, $10-20 depending on size. They have saved me hundreds if not thousands of dollars prior to the city redoing the laterals to our house.

All done. He snaked from the outside drain about 40 feet, and it cleared it. About 30 minutes.

Do you pour grease down the drain? Use one of the enzyme drain cleaners once a month. It's not as effective as the caustic cleaners but it's a little safer.

hardly put/pour anything down the drain ever, almost all food scraps go into trash.
Been in the house 15 years, first time I have ever had to call a plumber for something beyond what I could fix myself.

My wife thinks it is OK to put fibrous material like Asparagus ends. She seems to think our disposal should be able to handle anything she puts in it and thinks ours is defective
Sounds like you need a "Tim the Toolman Taylor" disposal.
