    Basement drain back up after kitchen sink used
    After washing dinner dishes and running garbage disposal... basement drain overflowed with bits of dinner present.
    This drain has always had water in it, but never to the top. Now, flooding with use of kitchen sink/disposal.
    Thanks, kay111
