I bought my house from an auction. This is my first home and I'm only somewhat handy. A guy I went to school with offered to do all my work. Long story short, he quit halfway through. My kitchen sink had no drainage issues whatsoever before he installed the new sink (deeper tubs) and garbage disposal. My sink has drainage issues. It fills up on one side and eventually the other and then they both rise together. He exclaims that all I need to do is wire the disposal and run it....that it would fix all my problems. Well, I wired the disposal and ran it (with water, without water, turning it on and off to create some air movement in the water) and nothing worked. It used to take an hour or so to drain, now it's taking hours to drain. I don't know if all I need is an under-sink vent or there is something wrong with the existing vent (IF THERE IS EVEN ONE!) I don't know cause like I said, I bought this at auction. I could not get any info on the house from the auctioneer, title company, or the city. Posted below is a pic, sorry it's not more well lit. My camera made it too bright with flash and not enough without. Anyway....have at it...I would appreciate some help.
