So on saturday my kitchen sink started backing up and draining super slow. So i decided to tackle the job myself.
Previous owners thought they were plumbers. They were not. The sink drains were installed incorrectly, they didnt use a drain pipe with the dishwasher connection so they rigged the dishwasher drain into the cleanout.
I redid all the plumbing under the sink then ran a snake down the cleanout as far as i could but couldnt get it past the elbow in the crawlspace. Still clogged.
So then i bought some drain cleaner (strongest stuff they sell it even came with a bag around the bottle in case it leaked). Dumped the whole bottle in and let it sit for an hour then dumped hot water behind it.
Still clogged.
Woke up this morning and now my shower is clogged too....
Called the septic guys since the shower is the last drain before the septic tank and they said since the toilets still work its a plumbing issue.
I hate this stuff.
