Our kitchen sink is clogged and Drano did not fix it. The same thing happened a few weeks ago and we called in a plumber who snaked the line and that fixed it only temporarily. The plumber did say that the snake came up greasy (from now on we’ll dispose of our cooking grease differently – not that we create that much to begin with). <\/p>\n
The sink and pipes are only 2 years old. The kitchen is on the 2nd floor of our rear extension and drains directly down to our main drain pipe in the cellar. We have a garbage disposal in the sink (Insinkerator Pro17). When we turn the disposal on, the water does go down, but then it backs up again. I would have thought that meant the problem was at the garbage disposal (i.e. the water not draining out of the disposal itself). The dishwasher seems to be draining just fine, which also suggests to me that the problem is above the dishwasher connection to the drain pipe. The plumber disagreed and thought the clog was farther down the line.<\/p>\n
