I have a slow basement sink with a clear p-trap. Actually the standing water level is just at the top of the basin tailpiece.
Other drains in the house appear to work fine, including a basement toilet and sink. I wonder if it's a vent problem at/near the basin?
If so. what's the right way to check a home plumbing vent? I read about a garden hose as a pressurized way to clear a vent from the roof-down, or using said hose as a crude snake.
The plumbing itself on this basin is old. All bronze, likely original. It's right near the 4" main drain and trap. I'll post a photo in a few hours.
