Clogged Kitchen Drain

[Sneakers]

Remove the PVC trap/drain underneath and go from there. Chances are pretty slim the clog is between the sink and the trap.

Careful taking the trap off, it will probably be full of water.

As you speak Greek to me.

Under the sink, it looks something like this

Unscrew the joint directly under the sink, and the one at the bottom. Remove the U-shaped trap. Then remove the one closest to the back wall for straight access to the drain pipe going into the wall. You may find the clog is in the trap. Again, there will be water in the trap, use a basin under it to catch the water.

You *******!

I never knew the Blob was remade.

Thanks.

The plastic gaskets in the joints are tapered and only seal when put back in correctly, so pay attention to the gasket orientation.

Just say no to crack.

First batch down. Water boiling on stove.

Not too much difference.

But! I talked to my Sistard and she said she could do it! I had forgotten that she installed her current sink. She also has a snake in her shed. Bingo!

Never seen plumbers crack like that before.

I guess that’s better than buzzards.

I NEVER put grease or food down the drains (double sinks).

Didn't you say you just had the room re-worked? New spackle? Is it possible the spackle guy cleaned his tools in the sink?

I've thought about that. I'll go from there.

Cutest plumber's crack EVER! (Tell her I said so )

When my drain was clogged but good at the house Pete came over and snaked it. We refer to that as "the time my house puked on Pete". Found all sorts of things in there, including a large piece of denim cloth.

Was that the time...? A party vaguely comes to mind---

Did you try rebooting?

I recommend a small plastic sink plunger. Using it often, when things aren't plugged help keep the trap clear. Also using dawn for dishes really keeps the pipes clean.
