Seeking help with a backed up kitchen sink. If I run sink for a certain amount of time it holds water and eventually it leaks out. If I also run the dishwasher I noticed the sink will have residue in it  never have I seen this happen! I have a septic tank and its not full because everywhere else in the house the water flows fine! Any suggestions will be helpful I've contacted a plumber to come have a look at it so any advice and possibly cost will be helpful.
They suggest the entire kitchen sink will need to be replaced. Thanks in advance!

Have you tried snaking it with one of these? Sounds blocked to me! Attachments:

Without seeing pictures of you kitchen sink and drainage pipes. My first suggestion will be tonremove the p-trap to ensure everything is cleared. Next remove the tile pipe which is connected to the p-trap and connected to the Sewall, to ensure it cleared. Do you have a garbage disposal?

Here are pics: vgy.me/u/7ASHGgvgy.me/u/paYSwFI have one of those snake things and I've used it all the way the through pretty much. I've open the p-trap and its as clear as day. I also notice when one of the sink gets full the other starts to develop water it in and vice versa its like both sinks are connected which they're are but its like they're dependent on each other. Idk what they hell is going on. Thanks for your suggestions and help so far. edit: I also do not have a garbage disposal |

Also, how's the plumbing in the rest of the house, is it only this sink that's not working correctly? |

Its connected to the left side: vgy.me/u/aUCrITThe rest of the house everything is working correctly.. to a certain degree that is. One of the toilets we have to hold down the lever longer than usual but, thats it. |

It's supposed to be visible, which means it's connected somewhere else, might wanna snoop around to see if you can find the actual connection to the drain, i'm guessing the culprit is there. |
