OT: drains

[-MIKE-]

Do not think for a second that this thread has ended just because the problem has been solved. :-)

Are you sure that wasn't Gerald Ross?, who clearly stated:

And again, Doug was correct, as it was indeed a "venting" situation, but just not with the system vent.

LOL ... it won't be over until the plumbing bill is paid to the rightful "winners", and the blame is ultimately placed where it belongs:

It is Butch's fault! (stated with your best Hispanic accent)

No Shit! As the problem very well could come back and we need to talk about that until sometime Friday!

Having followed this group for many years, I knew I would get an answer even though it was off topic. However having followed this group for years, I know two additional things, a thread is not over until the thread dies not the problem is fixed. I also know that with some questions, you have to expect some fun with the answers. Why would any one follow a group that had no humor.

Please remember that I originally gave the wrong person credit for the solution. Gerald Ross please accept my apology for not crediting you originally, and thank you for the solution that has be a thorn since we moved into this house.

If this is a bathroom sink hair could be wrapped around the plunger in the side that doesn't drain properly. This wouldn't show up when examining the trap.

Too much like it. ;)

my bathroom sink has no overflow circuit. Wonder why it works so well?

[Leon]

Because a clogged over flow introduces a problem, "up stream" if it is clogged. A sink with no over flow has not up stream to becomd clogged. A clogged over flow will create a vacuum.

Even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while. Glad it worked out.

I'm laughing, because back when we, and Leon and his wife et al, were playing Canasta with a vengeance (instead of the current fixation with dominoes), we all earned names that pretty much told the story of our gamesmanship/abilities.

Mine, being generally at the back of the pack when it comes to winning in social games, was "Blind Hog".

Leon, being the cunning dude he is, was aptly called "Snake". (Particularly apt when considering he is the permanent, perennial and official scorekeeper). :)
