Why would your kitchen sink drain slow at times and normal at other times if the septic tank is empty and could this be a vent problem?
Kitchen sink drains are a fertile environment for certain forms of life, and these can cause the drain to run slow. When hot water is run down the drain, it kills some of the lifeforms, allowing the drain to run freely for a while. Try using a drain cleaner, or a drain snake, to clean out the drain. Never pour grease down a drain, as it cools and solidifies quickly in the pipes.

How can you improve the flow of a kitchen drain?
Drano is one of the them. Liquid Plumbr (correct spelling) is another that will unclog stopped up drains and improve the flow of slow ones. Many people dump a pot of boiling water down the drain once a week to melt any soap and grease buildup. If you do that regularly, you can keep the drains flowing. You could also run a plumber's snake down the drain and manipulate it, or use a plunger to break up the clog and move it along. But never use the plunger or the snake if you've just dumped Drano, Liquid Plumbr, or other caustic substances down there. What I do -- as much as I HATE to do it -- is remove the P-trap and clean it out. It's gross but effective.
What do you pour down a drain to unblock it?
You can improvise a drain cleaner by pouring baking soda down the drain (bail the sink or tub out first), then following with vinegar. Let it foam for a few minutes, then flush with hot water. Serious clogs may need Liquid Plum'r or Drano. (These are caustic, and can burn skin, so be careful. If you use them and still need a plumber, let the plumber know you used them; nobody likes a surprise like that.)

What causes bad smells in drains and how do you fix it?
Almost invariably, a bad smelling drain is caused by rotting food, grease, or other organic refuse in the drainpipes. pouring bleach down the drain will help kill the bacteria and relieve some of the smell. using drain cleaners (or in serious cases, consulting a plumber) may clean out the refuse entirely. If you make a point once a month or so of filling the sink with hot water, adding bleach, and letting it drain out, that should help keep the pipes clean for the future.AnswerRather than bleach, I prefer to dump some baking soda down the drain and then add white vinegar. It will fizz and help dislodge anything that is stuck down there. If you have a second sink, do the same in that drain. Worse comes to worst, get a plumber to come and open up the trap and clean out area.
