Double sink, 1 clogged drain?

I a have double sink in the bathroom, one side is clogged the other drains fine. I ran an auger through the clogged side and it came out the side that drains fine. What can I do?

Double sink, 1 clogged drain?
Pour some drain cleaner down BOTH drains. After it sits a while you will need someone to hold a rag over the unclogged drain and you with a plunger should plunged the clogged drain. This should do.


As far as the the auger coming up the unclogged drain this happen because the two sinks connect into a T and then go down. Well thew auger went straight across at the T instead of going down. This is normal. Something else you may want to try is under the sink you will find the piping has a plug on the bottom. Put a pan under this connection and remove it. I think you'll find your clog. Once this plug is removed just clean it all up and run the auger in from the bottom up. It should take care of the problem. If all else fails, call a plumber.
Reply:Hi, Go under sink and take the drain plug out and take out all the hair. Then put plug back in and put some drain cleaner down the sink follow the instructions on the bottle. After that a plumber told me to fill the both sides of the sinks at least once a while.with the hottest water you can get and then pull the drain plug.This will clean the sides of the drain pipe and keep it clear .You should try to keep out all the hair from going down the sink by putting in a hair strainer in the sink to catch all the hair.
