Hello, I have come to try and resolve a problem with my kitchen sink drain. It was backing up and when we run the garbage disposal it just bubbles when we turn it off and doesn't actually drain the water.
I tried a plunger and it seemed to be working until I found out that it was just pushing water through the dishwasher hose into the dishwasher.
I tried some drain cleaners and it did not fix anything.
I tried taking the pipes under the sink apart to look for blockage (there was nothing) and to snake the pipe beyond the bend (only have about a 6' auger) and it didn't seem to do anything.
I just don't seem to understand what could be wrong with this. I have run the water with no pipes attached and it seems to run freely through the garbage disposal into the bucket I put down. I have poured water directly into the pipe that runs under the house and didn't have anything build up. I don't see why attaching the 2 with all working/clear pipes would cause a backup of water.
I am new to this whole home repair thing so I would appreciate any help. Thank you all in advance.
