Hi! New member and I have a question.
Our kitchen double sink has been very slow draining for more than month. Used to be fine.
On either side of the sink, if you put water it will fill up the sink, and come up on the other side too. Eventually it will drain.
All our other drains are fine.
We’ve tried:
-plunger
-cleaning the p-trap
-snaking all the way to main pipe
Not quite sure how to include photos so I am attaching them.
First is a photo on the pipes under the sink.
The second photo shows what may or may not be an issue? - the pipe from the p-trap leading to the basement actually slopes up a bit (I am holding a ruler to show the slope).
(Also, some recent history in case it’s relevant: I mentioned the slow drain issue starting up at least a month ago. Also 2 weeks ago our very old dishwasher started leaking into the floor right into the basement. We’ve replaced the dishwasher. It’s probably not related to the slow-draining issue at all, but I just wanted to mention it.)
Is the set-up under the sink correct or is there something wrong with it causing the slow-drain?
How do we fix this?

Thanks!
