| Oct 26, 2022 at 0:27 | comment | added | Chris | Not a plumber but it seems obvious that there is a connection between the lower-capped pipe and the drain. Is water backing up from the lower-capped pipe to the drain? If you were able to shoot water in the lower pipe, would you find water coming up in the sink? Done my fair share of DIY drain work, never seem two random capped pipes by the drain. Any plumbers out there know what these could be? The pipes are all in perfect alignment, so suspect they connect to the same trunk pipe? | |

| Oct 25, 2022 at 19:02 | comment | added | jay613 | Please edit your question to clarify a few points. 1) What do you mean about seeing water flowing with the "cap off"? What cap? How can you see water flowing inside a plastic or metal drain pipe? How does water get there if it's disassembled? Photos would help, you can edit your question and add them. 2) What's the relevance of the kettle and of it's being electric? Why are you using a kettle to diagnose your drain? 3) 25 feet of 2-inch pipe is 4 gallons of water, a lot more than two kettles. So, IDK about the blockage being further. We may need more info. 4) Is it draining slowly? | |
