There's a good chance it's just clogged at the trap.
It's plumbing, not rocket surgery.

I would bet there is something down there that the liquid plumber will not dissolve. Being a landlord, I have seen many a clogged sink that do not respond to the liquid plumber treatment. Have you removed the trap under the sink and check there? If there is no clog there then a snake is your next option. If that does not work call a plumber.
On a side note, I had a tenant melt old candles on his stove to make a new candle. After making the candle he realized he had melted too much wax. What did he do? Well, he poured it down the sink, of course. That was a royal pain to repair. You haven't been making candles lately, have you?![]()

Tried a plunger?
2 step process that I use with plunger...
1. Pour a box of Armand Hammer Baking soda down drain. Run warm water just enough to get the A&H down the drain a little, not to much.
2. Then pour Vinger down drain
3. Now as soon as the vinger hits the A&H take the plunger and go to town on the drain.
I had a bad clog that draino etc... would not fix, so i did what I juts said and it was fixed in no time.
Drano is sodium hydroxide (and aluminum, I believe).Originally posted by: courtjester123
one more thing.....especially since you've been using lots of drain opener liquids (hydrocloric acid) and now someone is recommending baking soda & vinegar; do you really want to open your pipes and have that kind of stuff come spilling back out at you?
leave it to the professionals
(no, I am not a plumber)
