Got home last night ready to try all the good suggestions. I planned on
starting with the easiest so I reassembled the trap then I poured water in
to fill the sink so I could plunge it. It never backed up. The digging I did
with the snake must have loosened it up?
Works fine now.
As far as cleaning / maintenance, I'm sure the pipes are layered with slimy
crud.
Would just very hot water down the drain be enough?
Or best to leave well enough alone?


Thanks for the suggestions.

Steve
