    Sink Not Draining
    I have a double stainless steel sink and the water will not drain when I plunge it just moves from one sink to another. My husband passed away several years ago and I normally just tell him and this issue is fixed, but with the economy got to do some things myself. Remove pipes from under sink and was some grease, used drain cleaners and water is clear, but not draining Any suggestions

    First off, To plunge a two compartment sink you must take a wet rag and hold in in one drain while you plunge the other. Try plunging and if that doesn't work I can walk you through snaking the drain line. Do you have a small snake in the house and do you want me to help you snake the drain. Back to you. Tom
