My kitchen sink keeps on backing up, and I'm having a hard time figuring out what's going on. I've snaked it several times. I managed to get my snake pretty far into the line by connecting it to a drill, and barely anything was stuck to it.
The cleanout for my plumbing is below the kitchen sink. I just bought a wifi endoscope that connects to my iPad, and it looks like I have standing water 2' into the cleanout. Is this normal, or the sign of a bad problem? Using city sewage. Years ago we had professional come out to snake the kitchen sink because my wife had been pouring one ounce worth of coffee grounds down the sink every morning, and now she doesn't put anything down the drain except water and soap. The plumber mentioned that it seemed like the pipe leaving the kitchen had a "bend" in it that was acting like a small p-trap, which was a bad sign.
Thoughts?
