Garbabge Disposal Sink & Other Sink back up water

[88al88]

To make a long story short, I got a screw stuck in the old garbage disposal and since it was really jammed in there I replaced the garbage disposal with a new one and all was working fine.

Then shortly afterward around the same time, can't remember which happened first, I stupidly put a little bit of corn husk down the garbage disposal. It didn't like it but it went down, I didn't put anymore down there. Also around that time we noticed a small leak and I tightened the pipes below.

Now whenever I use either sink, after a certain amount of water, the other one backs up. Then they will slowly both drain down. I'm inclined to think it's not due to the corn husk because I don't think that would explain why the non garbage disposal sink gets backed up. I snaked all the pipes and didn't find anything. I don't really know what the problem is.

Attached are the pics of the plumbing. I'm not exactly sure how the plumbing looked with the previous disposal but I think it is currently pretty close. I'm thinking maybe the pipe exiting the non disposal sink isn't slanted down enough. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Did you snake the line by removing the trap? Try removing the tee on the waste line for the disposal. There is a baffle in the tee that may be clogged. That's a common problem.

Hey John thanks for the suggestion. I just took apart and inspected all of the pipes and there wasn't a blockage in any of them. So it's further down the line, which I can't really see. I tried to snake that but I can only go so far, not sure why it stops. Maybe I need a better auger.

Sometimes the best bet is to call a professional drain cleaner. Yeah, they are expensive, but they have dealt with many clogged drains before.
