    Garbage disposal

    We're having issues getting this garbage disposal installed. My husband is pretty handy with stuff but we can't figure out how to make this work. Our sink is center single drain. The piping is getting in the way to where the garbage disposal isn't able to line up with the drain.

    Garbage disposal and kitchen flooding

    Does this make sense- I live in the 2nd floor of 2 story condo, and my kitchen flooded. Initally there was no water on the floor around the sink, dishwasher or washer, it was all more in the center of the area and did spread. It leaked into the unit below and was coming out of this kitchen light...

    Advice needed on temporary removal of Insinkerator garbage disposal

    Apartment AC drain line, washer, kitchen sink all backed up.

    It seems as though in my first floor apartment the kitchen sink, dishwasher, and garbage disposal are all connected as they should be.

    Double Kitchen Sink. Rt Side without Garbage Disposal never drains

    Installation gone wrong. Right-side sink has never drained properly. Does it need to have a straight pipe down to the p-trap, or should I move the Garbage Disposal. to the right, or maybe put a T into the garbage disposal to share with the Dishwasher?
