My Master bath has a double sink. The drains are not connected the traditional way with a shared drain in the middle of the vanity. They both have a stodor vent. My wife's was clogged but we cleaned the trap and all is good now. We have cleaned the trap in my sink and it still barely drains. We are on a septic system so I am catious as to heavy drain cleaners.

What are my options?

Remove trap of the stopped up sink and snake the line. The drain lines connect inside the wall, therefore you shouldn't have to put out more snake than the distance to the other sink.

Hi Mark

Before you remove the trap and snake the drain as suggested by Hkstroud, try removing the POP-UP from the drain assembly and clean that and the drain BEFORE the trap. If that fails to fix all, snake drain as has been suggested!

Good luck

With Studors you do not have a vent and a Studor can fail, try removing the top of the vent. Does your sink gurgle when it drains?

Mark nailed it. Most of the hair gets stuck on pop-up assembly, slowing down drainage. Do as Mark advised. Could be a quick fix.
