Hi guys,
I returned from holiday yesterday to find that my kitchen sink started filling up with water when we put the washing machine on a spin and drain cycle. I had to manually drain the sink and pipes and took all the pipes apart to check for a blockage but there wasn't one. I tried the washing machine again and it drained fine so can't see that's causing the problem. I tried using a sink unblocker but it didn't work. Seems that the blockage is further down the pipes than I can get to.
We also discovered that the cold water for the bath isnt working either and I hadn't long ago changed the washer on it but not sure if it's connected.
I was thinking of running a drain snake up the pipes (on order) but need some advice in the meantime as can't do washing or use dishwasher.
All help appreciated
