I'm baffled. Kitchen sink backed up yesterday, so I removed the kitchen
disposal to snake the pipe. I also disconnected the pipe in the basement
(where I have a rubber boot connector to plastic pipe that's fortunately
runs over my wash basin). So I've got a run of only about 6 or 7 feet of
pipe that I snaked. Snaking went easy, with the cable end coming out the
end of the pipe with very little gunk. So, I pour water down the pipe
under the sink and it just trickles out in the basement! I've snaked it
3 more times, and still the water flow out the end of the pipe in the
basement is about a quart every 10 minutes. Any ideas?


Ventilation?

-C-
Showing my ignorance here, but I'm not sure. The pipe goes in the wall
and behind cabinet a foot or so and down from there. The bathroom's
right above the kitchen, so it's possible there's a vent pipe that ties
to the bathroom. Just guessing.
