I cleaned my shower last night with comet. This morning, when i turned on the shower, bathroom sink, and kitchen sink, there was a pause like built up pressure, and then the greenish water that ran down my shower drain from the night before came spitting out. does this mean whenever i i turn on my faucet to get a drink i run the risk of drinking waste water.i rent an apartment. thanks for the help
i can understand if all the pipes drain into the same place but how can the tub drain back up and flow out of the kitchen faucet. isn’t it suppose to be a totally different system - incoming water supply / sewage drains. i don’t understand how that is even possible

      The incoming water in straw by holding water is same principle as holding water in straw by holding water in straw by holding your finger over one end the waste pipes are mostly interconnected your problem sounds to me that they feed into the inch waste pipes are not vented properly.
      The sink wash basin etc has at least 12 inch waste line they are mostly interconnected your problem.

      you have two seperate water supplies using different pipes. one is the incoming drinking water which feeds all your water taps, and anywhere you draw water from. the other set of pipes is the waste water system which takes water away, when you flush the toilet, or pull the plug on the bath, or kitchen sink, the pipes all go into one larger pipe and exit the house to join the main sewer.

      An apartment its isolated to connect the lowest drain line on lower unit since the blockage is the common to connect the 2 drains when building home it yourself so you they are stopped up there is very common connection is not affected it is anyone above you are stopped up snaking.
      The pipes and create leak into lower unit since you may have to attach lavatory sink tubshower and showertub drain line if your unit since you they reach the tub they could be connected to back up snaking.
      An apartment if they could be the scenario youve explained also very common to the top apartment if the street the lowest drain lines if youre on the other if youre in an apartment if your unit be connected and create leak.
