    Clogged Kitchen Sink
    Hello: When I use my shower in my bedroom, the water builds up in the kitchen sink.. I've snaked all lines from the bathroom to all in the kitchen. What else can I do?

    You snaked from the wrong location. The drain line's not clogged from the bath to the kitchen, it's clogged downstream from the kitchen sink.
    Then solution would be to snake from the kitchen roof vent. Put out enough snake to reach the base and 18 feet more. Good luck, Tom

    Not being a Plumber, I have had luck pouring a Drywall bucket of water quickly down the Vent(s)

    Sounded like all was clear from Bedroom to Kitchen and sounded like in the drain further down.I Have had good luck with water in the past.
    Just like pouring a bucket of water down a clogged toilet, I will do that before a plunger.
    Take Care

    Good answer! The force of the water could very well kick the clog out into the main. Tom
