I have a problem with water in the sink. It's not the water that collects in the basin when the plug is closed, but the water that collects in the inner basin [brown area].
I noticed the problem when removing the sink when the sound of splashing water came out of it.
When I tilted it back, water started to flow out of the holes on the back (not the holes for the mounting screws) [blue arrows]. It was a lot, over a liter. Generally, the sink functioned like a water container.
During the inspection of the washbasin, I noticed that water enters its internal chamber through the overflow hole in the wall of the washbasin. Previously I thought there was only one outlet from this hole down to the plug [green arrow]. However, I checked that in addition to the down channel, there are two more channels leading diagonally from the overflow hole towards the upper corners of the sink to the chamber in its center [pink arrows].
Under special conditions, such as intensive clogging of the washbasin, water flows from the siphon through the plug and drain channel into the chamber where it collects.
Under normal conditions, when the sink is hanging on the wall, it is unobservable, except that a slightly unpleasant smell comes from the area of the overflow hole.
The problem has nothing to do with a clogged cork or siphon, because the sink is currently removed and devoid of all connections and I am able to pour water into its inner chamber through the overflow hole. This water is not able to get out of there in any other way than by tilting the sink backwards and waiting until it pours out of the chamber through these two holes.
I have a question, is it normal for sinks to take on water inside? Or is something clogged in it and the water is not able to flow down to the cork on its own? I don't like the fact that water collects there, which after a long time probably becomes a living environment for many creatures.
