    Clogged Kitchen sink

I use 25 ft. long snake couple of times and the result is negative. My laundry room sink start to clog also when the kitchen sink clogs. I also use the snake at the laundry sink but no avail.

    Sounds as if your clog is much further downstream. Do you have clean outs in the basement? Back to you

    Are you on a slab footing or a crawl space under the house.

    You're snaking from the wrong spot.
    You need to snake from the kitchen roof vent. Put out enough snake to9 reach the base and 20 feet more to get out in the main. Good luck, Tom

    I snaked it by the kitchen vent and used almost the whole 25 ft long.


    I'm on slab footing

    Then you need a longer snake. You haven't reached the blockage as yet. Try again. Good luck, Tom
