Hi guys,
Let me explain my concern to you. The house we are living in is a house built in 1970 that has undergone significant renovations, etc. I have a very slow drain draining in my kitchen. Have tried about every drain cleaner, also tried a 15ft snake, which made it worse. After about 1 minute or so, it starts to back up. If I boil water and pour it in the sink a few times, it will begin to drain, and I can run the water without backing it up. About 20 minutes later to half-hour and its backs up again.
Any ideas about what I can do? I hired a plumber to go out and inspect this further. Still, I would like your opinion here - what do you think it is and what do you think the worst scenario and the best scenario would be here.
