slow vessel sink drain

18 years ago

Hello!

I need help!

I have just installed a vessel sink (no overflow) and have replaced my pipes with new pvc pipes. Nothing is clogged but the drain is so SLOW! If I leave the water on for the amount of time it takes to wash my hands...it looks like the sink might fill up and overflow onto the counter.

If I remove the pipes below...the water drains quickly!

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make it drain quicker?

What is the diameter of the pipe in the wall and what is the overall length from the sink trap to the vertical riser or stack?
