Why does water come up into my dishwasher when I run water into the kitchen sink?

Posted by admin
Briee J asked:


Whenever I drain the kitchen sink, water bubbles up into the dishwasher. I cannot help but think this isn’t very sanitary and so have been doing dishes by hand instead. Is this common, typical, or normal? Or Is this an issue that needs a plumber? Thanks

      You may need a plumber, either you have a clog, your drains are not correctly installed, or you don’t have proper venting on your drains.

      The dishwasher is suppose to have a special length of pie with a special shape that prevents backflows.

      It is shaped like this -^- and is mounted against the inside wall under your sink, as high as it can go, and attaches between the dishwasher and the drain pipe from the sink. It’s usually 1/2 inch diameter copper pipe 2 feet long.
