My kitchen sink is blocked, if I run the tap for 30 seconds the water starts backing up. The fittings under the sink are the usual plastic trap with a dishwasher connected and the overflow goes to a secondary smaller sink (where we keep washing up brush etc). After the u-bend it goes straight into the wall and into the drain. The kitchen is located on the first floor and there are other rooms on this floor with sinks, washing machine etc but these are all fine.
I have disconnected all the fittings and cleaned them but they were not blocked, I then ran a hose from the tap straight into the hole in the wall and ran the water for 5 minutes and it didnt back up, reconnected everything ran the tap for 30 seconds and it backed up. Afterwards the sink was making a glugging sound for quite a while so I ran the tap briefly and the noise stopped but it is still backing up.
As you can guess I am at a total loss as to what the cause is, any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
