Hi, so I have a dual kitchen sink and both drains are connected to a single drain pipe. The problem I'm having is that when I use my garbage disposal water ends up backing up on the other sink and of course it brings up residue and smelly water.
I have a 1/3 HP garbage disposal that has the dishwasher drain attached to it. When the dishwasher drains into the garbage disposal, water doesn't back into the other sink.
I don't believe the drain pipe is clogged, although it's possible. But I think the problem I have seems more of an improper installation. I'm attaching a picture to this post of my current setup. I'm hoping that someone could provide some recommendations as to what I should do to solve this problem. I've put up with this for three years and I'm done ignoring this problem, so any help is truly appreciated.
