Sluggish Kitchen Sink Drain Bradd 09/10/05
    (This isn't about politics, but plumbing doesn't appear on the home page, and if I leave it there, it will die a slow death).


    Double sink in kitchen - each sink has a drain that U's into a common drain. When I run the water (either sink) it rises above the drain opening and slowly fills the bowl. Then, water off, the drainage is slow.

    Over the last few days, I've tried two servings of Liquid Plummer (2 different times), and one of Drano. Neither has worked.

    Thanks.

      Clarification/Follow-up by Choux on 09/10/05 6:34 pm:
      If you run the water for **five seconds** and water backs up into the sink, the blockage isn't far from the kitchen sink.

      If you run the water for **30 seconds to a minute** and then it backs up, the clog is far down in the plumbing, in the basement somewhere.

      Uh oh. It's more like 30 seconds. Even longer. This is not good news. But thank you.
