    When you had the house cleanout open when you flushed did it back up. Explain more about this "back pressure".
    the kitchen does not seem to be affected
    If your home is a older home that once had a septic system the sink doesn't tie into the house main.
    It sounds like the problem may be between the house and the city main but I don't have enough information to make that call. Give me all the details you have, Back to you, Tom
