How do I know if there is a clog in my kitchen sink or dishwasher?

Posted by admin
Lisa O asked:


My dishwasher is not draining and the kitchen sink drains slowly. If I run water into the kitchen sink, the dishwasher starts to overflow. Obviously they are all connected. Is there a way to tell if I should start working with the sink or the dishwasher? I also have a garbage disposal (which I did not recently install). Thanks!

      The disposal it can get backed up the diswasher is connected to the trap with bucket underneath and clean first try running disposal it can get backed up the trap.
