Hello,
I'm having a problem with my double kitchen sink ever since too much food went through the disposal when washing dishes after dinner tonight. Basically, water won't completely drain from either sink (it drains from the disposal side when the disposal is turned on but then comes right back up); it does not drain at all down the side without the disposal. Additionally, when the disposal is turned on, the side without the disposal will shoot water out of the drain (sometimes a foot or two high!)
As far as what I've done, I've disassembled the p trap, as well as the line to the disposal and did not find any clogs. I rinsed both out with water in another sink just to be safe before reassembling. I'm not positive the plumbing is correctly done here, as I don't have much confidence in the person that originally did it, so I attached a couple photos of what's below the sink. My next thought was to try a plunger, but I decided it would be a good idea to first reach out to some folks that know a lot more about this stuff than I do. Any help would greatly be appreciated!
