slow drain

Hello, My name is Pete. I live just outside of Denver, CO. I am not a professional plumber, I’ve done well enough over the years to get by. I’m a mechanic by trade. I’m posting because I have a drainage mystery I’m struggling with. I’ll describe as well as I can. I’m sure I’m going to use...

First and foremost, I'd like to thank all the men and women who post here for their insights, trade secrets, suggestions etc. I am a first time poster, long time lurker and I feel like I've learned a lot but wanted to consult the experts before I get myself divorced over a partially clogged...

Our townhome built in 2018 so it is quite new. Recently, we started to have the back up water in our kitchen double sink. The situation is: we can run the tap at maximum flo for about 2 minutes and then the water start to back up to both sink. Right side worse than the left side. It also...

Hello! Need help with a bathroom sink. It was clogged really bad and I was able to unclog it. Even when unclogged the water still fills up the sink faster than it can drain. The water pressure is very good. The sink seems to be draining well, but it's just too much water for the size of the...

I had a plumber swap out the sinks in the photos below. Sinks are in the same bathroom and appear to be on the same drain lines. But with drywall that's not 100% certain. Anyway, the sink on the right [1687] drains slow and an occasional air bubble comes up. Sink on the left [1688] works fine...

When I flush my toilet it fills up to the rim with water. It will then drain slowly but not even a piece of toilet paper will go down the drain. I've tried plunging it and nothing is coming up like it had a clog. I plunged and flushed about 30 times. I then did the soap and hot water method...

Howdy All, So I had a new bathtub professionally installed not long ago, and it's draining unreasonably slow, even with the push plunger removed completely. I suspect installation error, but I haven't tried drano yet. I will take a few pictures and post them in a day or two. Also, if the...

I have a slow draining bathtub and I believe the problem is inadequate venting. The bathroom is located in an area that is similar to a basement. It’s a hillside house and the back wall and part of the sides of the first floor are concrete. When the plumber did the work, many years ago, AAVs...

Hi All, I’ve lived in my current house for about 8 years, and we’ve always had some slow drainage/gurgling issues with our kitchen sink. When you first start running water, there are no gurgling/draining issues. Once you start washing some dishes is when the drainage issues kick in. It seems...

The sinks in the master drain normally at first, but I suspect that's just the pipes filling. Then the draining slows terribly. Next it begins backing up into the other sink. (We have his and hers, but it doesn't matter which you run, it fills into the other.) None of the other drains have this...

Hey I did chemicals first then took out all pipes and did hand snake and after that installed new garbage disposal hoping it will give some push but none helped to solve the issue. it is still clogging or drain very slowly and when I run the disposer water goes to other sink. Please take a...

i recently installed a new bathroom sink with a p trap. As soon as I turn the water on the sink starts to backup and the water drain very slowly. When it is done draining it makes several glug glug sounds. There are no clogs. I would assume it is air in the line, but how do I fix it? It's...
