So here is my problem about a week ago my sink ( i do have a garbage disposal )started to get clogged and I noticed the water started coming out from under the dishwasher.. I had my brother in law come check it out and he discovered there's some type of leak in a pipe that goes from behind a concrete wall. Now I need to get the sink unclogged first and find a way to knock a part of my wall down so the pipe can get fixed. I do not have the money to hire a plumber and my bil is out of town any ideas on how to unclog my sink or any suggestions on what I should do or call to get everything fixed.

The water is suppose to be off from under the sink but its still leaking as you can see the pipe goes behind the wall to outside

The black pipe is the drain. ABS 1-1/2" pipe into a male fitting, threaded into a galvanized tee.
Where is it leaking on that pipe?

If the faucet is leaking from underneath, it could be that it needs a new stem, cartridge or washer. I can't tell the brand on that.
Normally you have shutoffs under the sink to isolate the faucet.

The faucet is not leaking from underneath the sink.. And we cant see exactly where its leaking from because the wall is in the way. I was told to have the sink unclog first but a plunger doesn't seem to work and if I run the water it all drains under the dishwasher to my kitchen floor and through a small hole outside.

Maybe a picture of the plumbing under the sink. There is a inspection cover at the front bottom of the dishwasher usually a couple of screws. May be able to see something there with a flashlight.
