Kitchen sink is filling up and draining into the dishwasher and then, flooding onto floor, any suggestions?

Question

PS Plumber has been out, cleaned out the sewage line and it worked for 2 days.

I've tried plunging, vinegar and baking soda, nothing. Since the plumber, I did put some apple skins down the disposal, but, that was it. I'm very frustrated.....

Answer 1

Your problem is the sink drain, not the dishwasher, which drains into the disposal then down the drain. Yes check the P-trap first, then you may have to snake further down the line past the P-trap. Rent a good snake from Home Depot or a local rent all. Draino is really not that good, but they sure do advertise well. In the future, if you have potatoe peelings, carrot peelings, or the outsides of the onions, please put the bulk of that stuff in the garbage can, it is really rard on the disposal, and P-trap.

Answer 2

I would probably take the trap apart at the bend. Probably the apple peels slipped through the disposal without being ground up. Just have a bucket close because the trap will be full of water and stuff. If there is nothing there it might be that the plumber pushed the fist clog farther down the pipe and not actually cleared it.

Answer 3

I sounds as if something has it clogged. Have you put something down besides water since the plumber left? You have a very clogged drain. Buy some drain cleaner and see if you can do it yourself.

Answer 4

i use use a plunger then use draino in the bot h dinks. then run the dishwasher. if this doesnt work you have a plugged up drain further down by the drain of the dishwasher
