    Please help clogged old double kitchen sink
    So our kitchen sink is clogged. I think it is from Coffee grounds. I have taken off all of the pipes I can figure out how to get off and they are not clogged. The area I think is clogged looks as though it has been glued together and there are no way to screw it off. I really need help on how to figure out how to pop those off to get the snack in there. Any suggestions?

    When you took the pipes off - was there water pouring out ? Also, did you remove ALL pipes , including the ones attached to the sink bowl ? Are they plastic or metal ? Garbage Disposer ? Do you have a clean out on the other side of the wall ?

    At this point you have to get as close to the wall inside the cabinet as you can. If you have to cut it off then do so. Get small snake, insert it into the pipe and push it in as far as it goes. Do it several times. Reinstall pipes, turn hot water ON and let it run for ten minutes
