I just moved into a brand new house a week ago. When using the sinks under normal use they work fine. However if we plug one of the sinks and fill it the sink will not drain properly. The filled sink will empty into the sink next to it as well as into the dishwasher. Eventually (hours) the sinks will drain however this usually takes all night. I'm getting ready to contact the builder and plumber for the house, but before I do i was hoping for some advice or tips on what might be happening.
Essentially I'm 99% positive nothing fell into the sink stopping it up as this happened the first time we filled the sink. UNLESS something fell into the sink when the builder was working in the house. I'm more inclined to think the sinks are not plumbed correctly however I wouldn't rule out a stoppage as well. I'm a complete noob when it comes to plumbing so I'm not sure what a Y connector or vent or any of that stuff is that is required. Attached is a picture of the plumbing.
Thank you ahead of time for taking a look and offering your opinions!
