Ok, I posted on this site last week and received GREAT advice, so I'm rolling the dice again to see if anyone can help out with my clogged sinks issues.
I have two kitchen sinks, same size, side by side (not 2 separate sinks, but rather a "double" sink with 2 drains-1 on each side)
One side has a garbage disposal and the side has one of those X type drains (for the dishwasher, perhaps? I'm just guessing here) and
BOTH sides are clogged.
When I attempt to plunge one side is goes to the other side and vice verse.
It's NOT slow draining, all the gunky "water" is just sitting there, about an inch above the drain opening on both sides equally.
I tried plunging, doing the baking soda/vinegar routine, boiling water and lastly, took out all the pipes, cleaned them and reattached them
NOTHING has worked thus far.
Outside of calling the plumber, is there anything else, or am I stuck with shelling out $100+ for the plumber? (# )
I thought of getting one of those "auger"/"snake" things, but when I've tried using them in the past on a toilet that always gets clogged, it really didn't work and so I gave it away.
Anyone ever have any luck with those snakes things when using it on a double sided kitchen sink?
Thanks all !
