    Garbage Disposal
    Disposal is working but water is backed up and won't go down.

    If both sides of the sink are blocked then you have a blockage in the laterial (horizontal) drain line in the wall. The solution would be to remove the "J" bend from the trap and send a snake up the tail of the trap into the wall.
    You will hit a elbo about 8 inches in but once past that you only have to put out about 6 feet more. Flush out the line with hot water. Good luck, Tom
