Tried it all. Lowered the j curve because I was told it was too high did not work. Water drains and comes up the other side immediately. Pulled it all apart and no clogs. Help!

You'll find your clog in the horizontal drain in the wall. The solution would be to remove the traps "J" bend and send a snake up into the wall,(see image). There's a bend ablout 8 inches in but once around that you only have to put out 6 more feet of snake. Flush with a tub of hot water. Good luck and thank you for ratting my answer. Tom

What about venting? I have heard that could be a problem. I know nothing about this sort of thing.

If it were a blocked vent you might drain a little slow but it wouldn't back up. Trust me in this and snake the drain line. Good luck, Tom
