Hi. My kitchen sink has a clog. I tried to use Drano. But it only worked enough to let the water drain very slowly. So I have not used the sink at all. However, now it seems to be clogged again. And like I said, I have not used it at all. The big problem here, is that the washer needs changing, so there's a constant trickle of water flowing. The sink fills within a few hours and I have to then empty it. And when it fills again, I empty it again. It takes about 8 hours for the sink to fill completely. So I believe there is some water draining. Just so slow that the sink eventually fills with the trickling of water. I turned off the water from under the sink. But it only shut off the hot water. There is no other knob there. So I don't understand why the cold water is still running. I can't get a plumber here for a few days, so I need to turn the cold water off. Any idea's on how I can do that? Thanks.
There is one gold knob which I used to turn off the hot water. My friend in another apartment in the same complex told me that the gold knob is the one that turns off both the hot and cold water. But mine only turned off the hot. There are two other knobs, which are both red, and both are connected to the pipes that would be connected to a washing machine. (I don't have a washing machine),, These knobs are turned off, because when I turn them the other way, water comes out of the washing machine pipes. So I don't know how to get the cold water off. There is no other knob.
