We recently hooked up to the county sewer. We started having issues with the kitchen and bath drains draining really slow. There are no clogs in any of the drains.
I was looking online to see if I could come across something similar, the only thing I could find was on the DWV set up. So I was looking at the set up, from what I see there is one vent coming off the main stack. The stack has the toilet, bath tub, and kitchen sink that empty directly into the main stack. From what I see I believe the bathroom sink empties into the toilet drain somehow.
The bath tub drain is 6' max from the stack but the kitchen sink over 20' from the stack.
Is there something I can do about this without having to add a vent to the main stack?

If the plumbing drained properly BEFORE connecting to the sewer, there is NO REASON why it should not do so now, and it should have nothing to do with "vents".
