Ooo that’s a good insight. And less accessible on one’s own. The basement sink filling is a clue that the blockage is in a pipe that is common to both of them. Have you tried a drain snake? I’d use it from the bottom sink

I don't have a drain snake. That may be worth buying just to have on hand

Don't think I can get past the 90 degree turns here though. I kinda want that horizontal run replaced with PVC. While I doubt it's the ultimate cause of the problem I would not be surprised if it's severely corroded inside leaving little drainage

It seems like we’ve gotten past the easier stuff.

I think I’d try the snake still, it should make it past the 90 degree bend, but also exactly how much you want to or have time to try before letting a pro handle it is an individual thing so I respect that.

I've got an appointment with a plumbing company coming tomorrow morning.
