One of our kitchen sinks has a vent problem , I think it is connected to a vertcial vent that exits via the roof. However, the set up is with a double sink connected to a common U trap. One sink has a disposal. If the other sink's drain is sealed then the water does not flow out of the disposal sink. Once you unseal the other sink all is well. Also this sink sometimes gets an awful sewer like smell. I clean the disposal regularilly with bleach so it is not this. I wondered if I could put a seperate vent to this system , but I cannot go up . Would it be OK if I went down after making a U above the sink pipes, I have plenty of space under the house, but it would be difficult ( lots of walls to cut into ! ) to go up. If you have any ideas please cc my email so I don't miss your great thoughts.
