    Hey Rob,

    If there has been nothing that fell down into the drain during installation then it sounds like you have a blockage in the lateral,(horizontal) line in the wall. Remove the "J" bend of the trap and send a snake through the traps tail up into the wall. You will run into a 90 about 8 inches in but once past that you only need to put out about 6 more feet. After, flush the line with hot water.
    Good luck, Tom
