So, my wife went up to the Jack-and-Jill bathroom to put away some towels, and then she yelled down that the sinks were full of water. I walked up there to find both of the sinks almost completely full. I looked under the sinks and saw where the AC condensation was draining into one of them, so that's what was backing up, but the clog was still there.
I ran a snake down both drains, but I was never able to get it to go down the actual drain pipe...just up and out of the other sink. So, I decided to get my shop vac and get the water out, then pour some Drain-O down the sinks then run water to fill them both up and get it into the actual clog. Worked pretty well as it was slowly draining in about half an hour, but still needed work, so I decided to pull the drain down on one of them and take a plunger to the other. Success! Both sinks are draining fine now.
So, since I had everything out, I decided to take a look to make sure everything was OK, and then I saw a couple of drops of water under one of the sinks. I looked around to see where it was coming from, and it was coming from the handle where you turn on the cold water. When I turned it off, a couple of drops would drip down and that was it. Didn't do it on the hot or the other sink.
Here's a pic of where it's coming from. Any ideas on the fix? I'm assuming there's a seal that's worn or maybe something just needs to be tightened. The house was built in '97 and the upstairs bathrooms are still original and good shape, and given we have 3 young kids, not in a hurry to redo them yet.
