so I've moved into my new house. Cute first home, 1940's wood floors in every room, etc
my bathroom sink stops up and I figure liquid plumber to the rescue right? No
liquid plumber didn't budge it, not after hours. So I drained and disassembled the drain assembly into the wall and ran a snake
the snake would only go in about sixishh feet into the drain. I dunno if it's hitting the wall, or a corner I just can't make but that's as far as I can get the thing. The drain takes a downturn about 3 inches into the wall so 6 feet seems good
I work the snake, the drain works again
two hours later it's stopped up
tried it again, the drain works again, slightly better then the first snake job
two hours later it's stopped up.
in between the two snake jobs I ran some liquid pipe snake through it, you know for good measure, it didn't make any difference
so what's going on with my drain line
it isn't the master drain, everything else drains perfectly in the house, which means it has to be somewhere in between the sink and where the drains come together
the bend 3 inches in the wall where the drain line turns down is actually a T fitting, with a pipe going up. I couldn't get the snake up there but I figured out a way to do it while lying in bed. Is that a drain line, and could it be inducing liquid lock in the sink drain if it's clogged?
Any advice would be great, kthankx
