 Kitchen Sink Clogged
Author: Dylan (AL)

Our kitchen sink is clogged, and has water backing up in both sides of the sink. We do have a garbage disposal on one side of the sink. I have used a snake and went through the pipe going into the wall under the sink but I hit something hard, and couldn't go any father, probably a 90 angle pipe. I have also used a bladder under the sink piping as well, turned the hose on and water is coming out of the vent on top of the house, and the sink still wont drain properly, any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
dylan
