    Kitchen Sink Backup Problems
    Hello, I have a 2 bowl Kitchen Sink, the bowl to the left contains the Garbage Disposal, when I let the water out in the left Sink and turn on the Garbage disposal, the water backs up into the right bowl, How can I fix this?

    I have NO Clogged Drains.. Thank you for your quick response..

    You might not have a full blockage but it's for sure you have a partial blockage in the horizontal line in the wall. The table in the disposal acts like a pump when the discharge hits the clog. The solution is to remove the "J" bend from the trap and send a snake up into the wall. The good news is that you'll only have to put out about 6 feet of snake. Good luck, Tom
