if gel drano doesnt work you dont have a food problem. take the p-trap off under the sink and remove the pen, hair clip ect and all should be fine.

It's probably frozen. Where I live right now is below 0 with wind chills to boot. My shower drain freezes when the temperature is this cold. I bought a length of heat tape, which has to be plugged into a safe(away from water)outlet. For right now open your cabinets and let some heat get in there. You can use a blow dryer to help defrost the u shaped pipe. empty the standing water into a basin. Pour boiling water into the sink and pray.

Well I was going to tell you not o use dran-o it will make clog worse. does it move at all?
The professional liquid plumer sometimes helps but I wouldn't
try it now that you have used dran-o.

very Hot water will sometime help if the drain is slowly going down.

Your drain is clogged disconnect the closest pipe to the sink and replace it, I am a woman and I have done it three times by myself. The best way to avoid this is to not dump grease down your sink at all.Good luck! Claire

put your garden hose in the plug hole ram a wet teatowel or rag around the hose so the water goes down the plug hole and not out of it the turn the tap on the water pressure build up behind the blockage and should fix it

Buy a snake (it looks like a metal hose) from the hardware store and use it to unclog the sink...

Have you tried straightening out a clothes hanger and snaking it through? It might be able to punch through the clog.

look under the sink. there's a u-shape trap. use 2 big wenches to remove it. that's where your clog is.
