Re: [BlindHandyMan] Plumbing problems
It sounds as you are going to have to put another vent in. Why not disconnect the trap from the sink drain and see if that stops the problem. If it does, you might get away with installing a auto vent under the sink. RJ [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: M.
