sink plumbing
Plumbing-- kitchen sink clog.oddly enough and with much effort I cannot locate the clog. I have run 25' snake
I have followed the drain line all the way to the first connection to the main no other drain showing any problems. Can this be a air flow problem or what else can it be? I have a dishwasher that drains through the sink. I am really baffled. I need help.
I had a similar problem a couple of years ago with the line from the sink that had been shared with a dishwasher for about 20 years.
I could run a snake through but it still wouldn't drain. I finally cut the line open and found it was plugged with what I think was residue from the dish washing detergent. It was a gelatinous sludge without enough substance for the snake to push it through or pull it out.
I bought a length of new drain pipe and simply spliced it in with a couple of MJ clamps. Problem solved.
I don't think our hot water was hot enough. Since that incident we have been using the water heating cycle on the dishwasher. Dishes look better - I'll know in 20 years if it solves the plugging problem.
