Well, I think I really did it now. (HUGE SIGH.....) My kitchen sink has always been a problem. The water here doesn't help, although one would think it would eat up anything and there would be no problems with clogs.
I decided to get a 25 ft plumber's snake yesterday and see if I could fix the clog myself. History: At first I could wash dishes and even use the dishwasher as long as I waited long enough in-between times. Then - a month or so later - the water just quit draining out.
I had already put a bottle of Liquid Plumber and later a bottle of Draino down the drain. NOTHING. I got a plunger and have been trying to pluge it, to no avail. It's a double sink with an in-sinkerator on one side.
So this morning I decided to try the snake. I got about 1/2 way through. It would act like it hit something and I would keep turning it and finally it would go about 3 inches or so. This continued for quite awhile. There may be almost 15 ft of snake in the drain pipe. Nothing was happening so I decided to give up and guess I'll have to relent one of these days and see if I can find a decent plumber in this town.
So, I started pulling on the snake. It is stuck. I tried to turn it in reverse (it's a manual) and nothing seems to be working. IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET THE THINK OUT NOW??? I don't want to end up having to pay $$$$$$hunderds to get the stupid thing unclogged. It has been a jinx for the past 6 years!! HELP!!!!!
Thanks. Darci
