    Do I have to call a plumber?
    Help! I am in a mobile home, this morning the kitchen sink was clogged. I tried liquid plumber, no help. Then this afternoon I took apart the entire assembly, pea trap and all pipes were clean. Then I tried to snake the line, nothing. I then used a foam pipe cleanser but the foam went directly from one sink to the other, never down the drain.It looks like the water runs directly from one sink to the other but nothing will go down the drain. I can plunger it and the water still goes from one sink to the other but not down. There was a small amount of residue in the dishwasher line, but not enough to totally clog. Any thoughts? Thanks

    Are any other sinks or lines clogged,

    If not the clog is somewhere between the sink and the main line.

    How for in did you "snake" the line, 4 feet, 10 feet??

    Also if you call a plumber, let them know you used chemical drain cleaner, they are very dangerous for a plumber who may be under a pipe that leaks on him.

    No other blockages, the snake went in probably 10 feet. I took it back to the store because it would not rewind and thy sold me a balloon thing that attaches to the hose but can't use that because there is no straight access point that I can get to. Looks like all the turns in the pipes have been glued. Thanks
