We have a slow draining kitchen sink (first occurrence in the 37 years we've lived in the house). Everything else in the house drains fine.
We've tried the following:
1. Snaked the line with a 1/4" electric driven snake to 25 feet (general purpose tool on the end).
2. Snaked roof vent pipe with above snake, also to 25 feet.
3. Determined that 5 quarts of water will back up the sink. Which through calculations places the clog about 4 feet downstream from where the drain line enters the wall below the sink.
4. Rented a 1/2" 50 ft Electric Eel Model K snake with manual rotating drum. Using the u-shaped finishing/grease tool we snaked several feet past the calculated clog point. It now takes 6 quarts of water to back up the sink. And drains very slowly, much slower.
Thanks, in advance, for your help.
