Newly installed double sink won't drain.

Forum Title: Newly installed double sink won't drain.

I recently put a double sink in my kitchen where a single sink use to be. The single sink drained without a problem for years. Once I hooked up the double sink the water drained very slow. I thought it was because I hadn't attached the dishwasher yet which would allow for the pipes to vent, but once I did that then the sink stopped draining all together. I am very doubtful that it is clogged as it drained fine up until changing the sink. That would be a huge coincidence. I will attach an image. Please any help is appreciated.

I see your problem. plan as day... your draining a 2 compartment sink into a garden hose. most comical thing i have ever seen....if you were to put the car's radiator hose back on the car and plumb that sink correctly it will drain. sorry,,,not trying to be a rude and obnoxious American, but damn,,,,is that legal up there? the plumbing inspector here would snatch that out of the wall and chase you down the street with it.!!

I'm going to say you have a venting issue, but I'm not an expert. Your IP shows us that you are from Canada. We have a few experts here that work in Canada, so maybe they can help you once they get done with their plumbing jobs.
