I’ve lived in my house for two months, so its problems are new to me.
Recently my kitchen sink is very slow to drain, and the family room ‘bar’ sink is as well. If water is running for a minute or two, both sinks are very slow to drain. Food scraps have backed up into the bar sink. It smells.
There is a clean out under the bar sink.
I just snaked 25’ through the kitchen sink but the slow drain problem is still there. There are no other plumbing fixtures between the kitchen and bar sink.
And the rest of the house’s plumbing fixtures are further away from the bar sink. Kitchen sink is on one end of the house, then bar sink, then bathrooms and laundry further away.
There is no problem thus far with toilets/showers/bathroom sinks/laundry draining. That is working fine.
Should I snake the bar sink, or clean out? Is something else the problem? If I uncap the clean out, will I likely get a flood of water? Any other info needed?
