Did 2 gallons of bleach this am. It backed up into the sink after about 1.5 gallons. It didn't fix it.

BTW, is your house on a mechanical or septic?

Is this sink at the end of the plumbing line closest to the septic or mechanical?

Just asking because some people never pump out their systems then wonder why shite starts backing up into their house.

Of course it's more likely it's just a clogged pipe that a plumber with a snake can fix like I posted above.

If the home is older, it could be roots on the main line. If a gallon and a half backed it into your sink then it probably isn't that and is probably just a clog. Liquid Fire does a pretty good job, nothing but sulphuric acid and stinks like hell.

if two gallons backed it up, it is a likely a clog in the wall behind the sink...maybe even the p-trap...

How long after last backup did you do the bleach? 10 minutes of water running is more than 1.5 gallons.
