Just looking for some online help before I call a professional... We have a double sink, with garburator and dishwasher. About three days ago the problem started with some sort of blockage and water was backing up into both sinks. After holding the one sink closed and running the garburator on the other side I can drain all the water but the couple inches that would come back up after I releases the plug. I have done the snake (several times, and got a bit of crud out )with a drill attached for turning force and got the snake its full distance out, I have used a 1/4 bottle of some draino (over several attempts) while following the directions and running the garburator and letting it sit overnight, I have filled up both sinks with hot water and drained (overflowing coming up out of both sinks when I tried the garburator), and I have plunged! Not sure if this is some other clue (our area is in the middle of a big rain/wet snow system and there is lots of water coming down on our roof/gutters)... when I am holding the one sink closed and forcing water down with the garburator there is a flood of water coming over the gutters right outside the kitchen window, the kitchen vent? is right up there. I am also running the dishwasher ok but watching the overflow coming up the sink. Any ideas before I give up?
thanks a bunch,nicole
