Some background info: 2 story house. master bedroom bathroom on one side and 2 ac outside units on the opposite side. house built in 1991. We bought about 10 years ago.
One bathroom sink was frequently clogged, until about a year ago, I made a change to the original setup that you can see in the photos. I'm not a plumber, but can fix small things. From what I understand the builder put AC PVC connection inside the wall a bit too low and thus making me no choice but to create these extensions. There is slight upward angle though. In any case, I believe if I call the plumber it will be extremely expensive to correct this (i.e. taking out long bath cabinets, opening up a sheetrock and extending pipe up a bit)..
Regardless.. the problem now is that the sink is clogged again. I cleaned ALL the connections and tried to use drum auger for ac pipe but obviously it would not go far at all because ac PVC pipe behind the wall is L shaped.
Sorry, for the long explanations. What I need are practical solutions or tools to buy to determine where it's clogged and how to unclog it. Thank you!
