It's possible that sink has its own line going to the main city line. I have one kitchen sink in a basement that does that. But I think that is pretty unusual. How far away is the nearest other plumbing fixture like a toilet, shower, or tub?
Can you see any drain lines the basement, particularly where the main drain leaves the house? |
There's a half bath about 30 feet away and laundry plumbing about as far away.
I have no way to view what's going on under the slab. Unless... I have a Bluetooth GPS receiver that's idle... :) Sixto |
My general rule of thumb is that I don't call a plumber until I'm sure I've run my snake from the fixture down into the main line. If the nearest toilet is 30' away, there's a good chance your 25' snake has not made it to the main line. You can rent snakes at Home Depot. Don't know if they rent a small one more than 25'. It might be worth it depending on your local snaking charges. Around here, a snake out of a branch line by a plumber will run about $150.
What does your snake look like when you pull it back? Is it all black and gooey or pretty clean? Does it have anything stuck on the end? |
The first couple of times it came back gooey and had some fibers thicker than hair. After that it was pretty clean. Not much improvement in flow.
I could check the rental yard tomorrow... Sixto 87 300D |

A 50 foot 1/2" auger did it. It being punching a hole through the muck. Nothing came back with the auger except a coating of grease. I'll follow up with more chemicals tonight and read up on proper cleaning of the lines.
Thanks for all the help! Sixto 87 300D |
Good work. It's quite possible that it was just plugged with gooey slime. I'd run straight hot water down that line for about 5 minutes once a month or so to flush out the slime.
