I live in an older trailer and just moved in, I have no ideas and need to fix the problem soon, it stinks bad


Answer
You might have packed drain lines. Old grease and slim build up making the line smaller inside. This makes the large volume of water that comes out of the washer back up. If the washer and sink are real close together .... like the washer is on the a same wall. You might have something caught in a (Y) they share. A sock or something.

Unless you have a septic tank. Try a line opener you can poor down the line. both in the washer drain and kitchen.

If the mobile is on a septic don't use any drano type stuff. It will mess up the break down cycle in the tank. Don't use any of those pressure openers on an old system either. It could blow your pipes apart.

Also, drain lines have air vents. Usually the smell will go up there. This could mean there is something in it like a bird or a wasp hive.

Does it happen after a bath or a flushing?

Can you give more info about the problem.

My kitchen sink has lost a lot of weater pressure..?

The faucet's pressure has gone down the last couple of days, but it changes, one day it was about half normal, the next is was barely streaming, but then yesterday it was working fine again. Today its back to halfway. The sprayer works fine still, and I haven't noticed any other problems with any other sink in the house. Anyone have any ideas?


Answer
The aerator is always the first place to look. Unscrew, by force if necessary, and clean in some vinegar being careful not to lose the washers (block the drain). If that doesn't do it there might be something in the supply lines. Look under the sink and you'll see them. Turn off both of the valves and loosen the hoses over a bowl. Open the faucet, not the valves, and let them drain. Try to blow through the faucet if you can to help clear the hoses. Now one by one turn the valves on just a little with the bowl underneath to clear any obstruction there. Reattach the hoses, take your clean aerator back off and clear the line again. If that does not work it's your faucet cartridge. Call someone who knows what that is at this point.
