Garbage disposal
I have never had a problem running my garbage disposal before until I replaced it with a bigger and better one. Now my disposal backs up, and when I run the disposal, it backs up into the adjoining sink! Please help!
Hi Mom, Sounds like you have a clog in the lateral, (horizontal ) pipe in the wall, the solution is to snake out the line. Remove the "J" bend from the trap and send a snake up the open pipe into the wall. You will hit a elbo about 6 or 8 inches in and from there it's a clear shot for about 5 more feet. After you snake and clear the line run a sink full of hot water to flush it out. Good luck, Tom |

I had a garbage disposal installed in my kitchen by a plumber. Sometime when we put garbage in and turn it on it shoots out the other drain and comes up into the other sink basin. My guess is that too much garbage is being put inthere at one time and shoots it across. Also, the instructions say to...
