Water back up from dishwasher in sink
Hi,
I HAVE A DISHWASHER AND MY SINK HAS A DISPOSAL. I AM HAVING A PROBLEM THAT I WAS WONDERING IF I NEED A PLUMBER TO CORRECT. WHEN MY WASHER IS IN USE WATER COMES UP INTO THE DISPOSAL SIDE OF THE SINK. ALSO SOMETIMES I FIND WATER LAYING IN THE BOTTOM OF MY DISHWASHER THAT IS STAGNANT AND DOESNT SMELL VERY GOOD. MY DOUBLE BOWL SINK DRAINS HAVE A BAD SMELL IN THEM QUITE A BIT ALSO AND I USE DIFFERENT PRODUCTS TO TAKE THE SMELL AWAY. DOES THIS ALL CONNECT TO THE SAME ISSUE??? THANK YOU OR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME.
