    You're drain line's clogged and the table in your disposal is acting as a pumps impeller. The blockage will most likely be found in the horizontal line in the wall.
    Remove the trap and send a snake up into the wall. You'll hit a elbo about 8 inches in but once past that you only have to put out 6 foot more. Good luck, Tom
