Why is my sink ponding water.

sink ponding waterThis is an example of a sink that is obviously ponding water in the right bowl.

Eclipse sinks are drawn from molds and all will drain if properly installed properlyForced basket strainer w arrow.

Ponding as shown in pictures above is caused by the plumber forcing the drainline and basket strainer or garbage disposal in trying to meet existing piping. When you force the plumbing in it causes the bottom of the sink to bow upward at the plumbing (drain) keeping the water from getting to the drain like you see in the right bowl of this sink.
