A month ago, a cable was snaked through the vent stack on the roof to clear out the sewer chain that apparently had my hip bath and toilet backed up. It worked, even though the plumber said he feel there could possibly be something close to roots about 30ft out still within the pipe (which by the way is the innovative cast iron or cement used contained by the 50's). Now a month later, the two are clogged again, but why not the sink?
Answers: the sink by plumbing standards have a direct link to the vent and its piping installed separately and surrounded by high position next to the rest of the fixtures,,, your watercloset, floordrain and tub usually share a common soil pipings they branche out from this,, appreciably some problem is clogging the soilpipes where watercloset, tub, drain drains
the sinks pipe is most predictable attached to the main pipe passed the clog and if roots be pulled out of your line next its broken and must be fixed or it will become a big problem
