Sink upstairs not draining after numerous Drano uses.

Go to Lowe’s. Buy a snake. Do it yourself. $50 or less

We need the plumber every holiday when there are more than 3 people.

Cause of overuse.

Just run a line from your sink drain to the turlet.

Drain it off in there.

Geesh, do we have to chew your food for you?

Don't waste your time with the snake. Screwdriver and a hammer is all you need.

First, at least disconnect the trap underneath the sink. Good chance the problem is right there and you can clean that out easily.

If you don’t want to go the DIY route, Roto Rooter will run you about $175 to $225. You can usually knock that price down quite a bit if you tell them (when they get there - not over the phone) that you only want it snaked and not their “Clean and Treat” plan.

Take the p trap off and clean it. That all it is. YouTube it.

There is a product called Liquid Fire that is the shite. Pour some in your rooftop drain vent. Be careful and wear eye protection. Bet it solves your problem. Lowe’s. That’s if the blockage is past the P trap.

OP. Turn off water to sink, remove the D trap, clean out all of your wife's hair, put D trap back, solved.

Before calling anyone, take the p trap apart under the sink that isn't draining. See if there is blockage in the u bend. If there isn't, do like everyone else is saying and snake it out yourself. My wife and daughter constantly clog tub/sink drains with their long hair.

Nonprofessional advice. Run garden hose through nearest window. Place hose end into sink drain. Make tight seal with wet wash rags. Cover tub or shower drain with wet towel. Have someone turn hose on. Monitor toilet to make sure water isn't rising.
