    Garbage disposal makes opposite side sink drain bubble up waste
    When I turn on my garbage disposal, the opposite side sink drain bubbles up waste. Is this a plumbing problem or disposal issue and how can I fix it?

    You have a blockage or a partial blockage in the kitchen drain. Remove the trap underneath the sink and snake the line.
