The pipes under double sinks are connected slightly different than that of a single sink. The thing to keep in mind is, even if you have double sinks or a single sink, the pipes will be connected to a single stackline. Connecting the pipes to a single stackline is way more convenient and cost effective than having multiple stacklines. If you look at the bottom of your double sinks you will clearly see that the traps under both sides of the double sink somehow are connected. If you cannot visually see the pipes connecting, then they more than likely connect behind the wall.
Now, if only one of the sinks is clogged and the other one is running fine, then you can successfully unclog it with a plunger. If the plunger does not work, it means you have an object in the pipe. To remove the object, simply take apart the pipes under the side that is clogged, and clear the pipe. We usually find spoons, rice, bones or grease buildup. Once you clear the pipes, both sides of the double sink should work.
Now, If both sides of the double sink are running slow or are clogged, you can still try the plunger. But, you have to make sure you plug one of the sinks and plunge the other side. You have to plug one of the sinks because plunging one side without plugging the other side would simply cause the water to be pushed up on the unplugged side. If the plunger does not work, you can try other home remedies we have listed in other posts. If all that does not work, you have to get a snake and unclog the sink.
Snaking a double sink is not too different than snaking a single sink. Just be careful taking the pipes apart. It is sometimes difficult to put the pipes together under a double sink. If you have any issues related to your sewer and drain needs, you can always contact us.

Why should i maintain my sewer line?

Having sewage backing up through your basement toilet, shower or bathtub is not a pretty sight. When sewer water coming up through your basement and you are calling all your contacts, going through yellow pages, searching the internet for a sewer company, you also have one thought hidden somewhere in the back of your head. You ask yourself, why did it happen? It was running fine yesterday? I just bought the house? My plumbing is new, I shouldn’t have a sewer back up? Why me?
You can always call A$49.95 Any Sewer or Drain and your sewer problem will be taken care of, but the question here is what can you do or you should do to prevent sewer back ups.

  1. If you have trees outside your house, there is a high possibility of tree roots growing into your sewer pipe. As a rule of thumb, you should get your main sewer line going out to the street snaked once a year to rid it of any roots. This will save you money in the long run. Over grown roots can cause heavy damage to the sewer pipe and in alot of cases can cause your sewer pipe to collapse. Changing your sewer pipe can cost you thousands of dollars.
  2. Grease build-up in your sewer pipes is also a problem. If you cook food with alot of grease or use alot of detergents and soaps, it is a good idea to check your sewer line every few months, as grease build up is mostly rapid than root growth. Grease build-up is even a bigger problem if your sewer line is back pitched.
  3. Alot of people do not know where their sewer trap is located until they have a back up. Sometimes the main sewer trap is even buried under concrete, and at the time of a sewer back up the home owner has to go through the trouble of spending extra to locate the main trap. Which also means that it will take longer to get your sewer unclogged. So keep a proper access to the location of your sewer trap also known as the house trap.

If you are a new home owner or already own a house, it is no secret that sometimes it does cost alot to maintain a house, but some expenses, such as sewer and drain cleaning, can be kept under control if maintained regularly.
