The kitchen sink won't drain. Some solids went down it that should not. You may recall that a lot of the drain line for it is basically horizontal.
We tried snaking from under the sink, which accomplished nothing. We went down to where you had capped the line after removing the sink in the sunroom, and the end cap came off when I tried to unscrew it. As in, it has unglued. So, we'll need to get that fixed too. Snaking from there, I managed to move some clogging material, but not /re/move it, so it just slid further down and clogged later in the pipe.
If I could afford it, I'd ask the plumbers to rerun the entire line so it wasn't so flat.
Arrrrrr. I'm sorry. Yeah, there are requirements on drain slope, and they're there for good reason -- and the primary challenge in installing a sink is usually the drain slope.
