    Clogging in kitchen sinks
    Hello, please help.

    My kitchen sink keeps clogging and it overflows into the other sink. I have tried to snake it and used drain-o but it keeps getting clogged. Please advise.

    Thanks in advance.

    Remove the trap and send a snake up into the wall. Put out about 6 foot and reassemble and test. Good luck, Tom

    Tom,

    I really appreciate your detailed answer and help! I have previously tried this but I will try it again as I may have not done it correctly. Any other suggestions if this fails?

    Thanks Tom.

    If y6ou go into the wall all the snake needed to auger the drain line is about 6 feet. However, if that doesn't the clog the blockage is farther down the line and must be snaked from the kitchen roof vent. Put out enough snake to reach the base and 25 more feet. Good luck, Tom
