My dual sided kitchen sink with a garbage disposal is not draining properly. How can I fix it?

Posted by admin
J-Rock asked:


I have a dual sided kitchen sink with a garbage disposal. Either side of the sink will slowly fill when I run the water and will drain extremely slowly. If I turn the garbage disposal on (which seems to be running fine) The water bubbles up and fills into the other side of the sink.
