I spent some time this evening making a first pass at snaking a laundry tub drain and out came a bunch of lint. I'm sure there's more, but the auger doesn't work very well when it's tip is full of lint.
The sink is flowing, but I need to feed the snake until nothing comes back.
Anybody have any good ideas to keep lint from going down the drain from a washer that supposedly "chews the lint" and doesn't have a lint filter. The laundry sink is a dual version.
There are a few metal mesh type lint traps listed on the link above, but I have also seen where people designed there own from materials at the hardware store. If the nylons dont work for you, this might be an option to make a box of some sort to fit your needs.
You missed the point entirely. The drain line was clogged with lint. Not the sink. It has an iron trap to a 1-1/2" galvanized pipe that eventually goes under the basement floor.
