I have twin kithen sinks, the right with a garbage disposal. I had a pot of plain (no sauce etc.. ) cooked pasta that I decided to get rid of. I ran water while running the disposal unit, but then I noticed that the water was starting to block up. I removed all the ground up pasta from the unit, but still the water will not drain. The left kitchen sink is draining fine. I tried a toilet plunger, but( and here's the big clue probably), the water squirts out of the aerator. I opened the cap of the aerator. It has a central copper pipe, but the water ( when I use the plunger slowly ) is welling up on the outside of the copper pipe, not from within it. Help from the pro's please ... what do I do? Any easy way out of this? I'm "house repair" challenged !!
