Clogged water stays at drain rim (sink strainer)
Hello,
I have a second kitchen sink on the second floor of the house, I'm sure is connected to my first floor kitchen because a while ago when the second floor sink pour water in, I hear "glo glo glo" on my first floor sink but at the time the water flowed fine.
Two days ago the second floor sink clogged and I pour some drano-type chemical and let it sit over night, poured hot water in the morning, it did nothing, then next night I pour bleach over night and hot water next 2-3 hours and plunge the heck out of it. I even got a 12' feet auger all the way in and nothing seemed obstructed. A lot black/brown material came back up after pluinging and it started flowing again, I can even leave the faucet running and it flows BUT the water stays at the rim of the drain. I don't know what else to do. It working again but water doesn't leave the drain completely, it stays at the rim. I'm sure that's an indication of something.
Please help. I was thinking of using an auger that connects to my drill and is longer to see how far I can reach but this water staying at the rim is a mistery to me. I hope this was clear. Again, I can use the sink leave it on for as long as I want and the water flows but it stays at the top of the drain...????
Thank you so much for all your help!
ps. I'm trying baking soda with distilled vinager tonight to see if it helps, since is not chemically strong, I thought it wouldn't hurt.
