Hello to all,
first off let me tell you my problem. the problem is that my bathroom sink will not drain and at best it drains slow over many hours.
i live in an older home and have been here for about 5 years. I have not had any problems thus far with the drain system until now.
when you walk into the bathroom you have the sink on the right, then next to that is a toilet and the tub is next to that. the tub and toilet drain with no problems it is just the sink that wont drain unless it sits over night and then when you wake up it is then drained but if you run the ater it fills back up again.
I have taken the p trap off and snaked the pipe with a 25 foot snake and all seems to be clear. i looked at the pipes under the house and i can see that all 3 pipes from the sink, toilet, and tub all dump right into the main drain. so i know the snake had to been in the main drian for at let 20 foot. I was thinking maybe it is a venting problem but if it was a venting problem shouldn't everything have a hard time draining in that bathroom? I am lost and need help!
So if anyone could help me with this i would be so thankful.
thanks!
