Hello all
Living in a 6 year old our house and the sink in our upstairs bathroom has become very slow to drain (probably over the last year or so)
I have taken the steps to check the sinkhole and the u bend pipe under it - nothing of note causing it to block. After the u bend the outlet pipe goes into a wall so I can't investigate any further.
I also poured some drain cleaner down the sink over the course of a few days to no effect.
This bathroom has had very little use since the house was built so I wonder is it something else other than a pipe blockage causing it…would there be an issue with an airlock or something else not obvious to me?
Would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions, thanks
