How to unclog a backed up kitchen sink?

Posted by admin
Southern Belle asked:


My kitchen sink is backed up. All of the other sinks and toilet are working just fine, so I know that it is not the septic tank. We have tried drano, cleaned all pipes under the sink and tried the snake in the back pipes, but it is still backed up. Does anyone know what else we can do, before calling a plumber out?

      Take a water hose and put it down the drain vent pipe on top of the roof and push through if vent is clogged water will not drain.
      Some times lent from laundry water riseing up the vent pipes will clog the vent pipes and dissallow the water to drain..
