I noticed my garbage disposal seemed to be running weak a few weeks back. Last week, my sink got completely blocked. I tried boiling water, bleach, the plunger, and drano gel. None of them worked so I went to my hardware store and bought a 25 ft hand cranked drain snake. All 25 ft of it seemed to slide through without resistance. When I took it out, the line was coated with a thin layer of rust and black grease. I didn't think it looked too unusual.
I would normally think that this meant roots farther down the line. Only thing is, none of my other drains (bathroom and washer) are blocked. I live in a small one story house on a small plot of land. Am I right to assume that all wastewater drains would converge fairly close to my house? If so, it seems unlikely to be roots if all the others are working fine. What else could be causing this?
Thanks!
