homemom3 had the below question

I’m constantly having to use a broom stick to fix my sink. (not properly draining) Why? Is it possible the landlord poured excess paint before we moved in and if so how do I clean that out? (there was paint in other drains)

To check the drain for paint just remove the trap below the sink to check for debris, the trap is the elbow below the sink that always holds water in order to keep the sewer gases “trapped” & prevent them from coming back into the home.
