A. you need to remove the trap under the sink and clean out the debris and clog. It's a messy job so have buckets and towels and rubber gloves. or call a plumber.

My garbage disposal has started to drain into my bathtub on the lower level. Any ideas why?
Q. I live in a two 1/2 story house with my kitchen on the top floor and the master bedroom on the lower floor. Yesterday, my garbage disposal contents started coming up in the drain of the bathtub. Any idea why this happened and what I can do to fix it? We have no other plumbing issues in the house that I can see.

A. run hot water and dish soap down the drain and run the disposal at the same time. If that doesn't work try the same thing with bleach. bleach will kill just about any odor.

How do I replace a garbage disposal with regular piping?

A. Garbage disposals are detrimental to the sewer system, garbage belongs in the garbage can, many local authorities have banned their replacement, if you want to keep taxes down, it costs to treat everything that goes into the drain. First, shut off the electric, if you can't, forget about doing the job. Open the box where the wire enters the disposal, disconnect the wires and place wire nuts and electrical tape over them. Cut the pipe that leads to the wall, just after the u-shaped bend.

Turn Garbage Disposal on and sometimes water comes out of adjoining sink?
Q. I was trying to clean my garbage disposal and I put the stopper on and filled it with hot soapy water. Then I turned the disposal on and removed the stopper, the water started going down but dirty water started to come up from the adjoining sink. I had noticed that sometimes when i turned the disposal on i would see water swirling around in the other sink but it never came up so much. Is this something I need to call the plumber about or should I pour drano down the adjoining sink? Thanks for your input!

Is there a way to fix the garbage disposal if the leak is coming from the reset button?
Q. Our garbage disposal stopped working after a disposal dishtowel got caught in it. After several attempts to free the jam, water started leaking from the sides of the disposal. We tightened the screws around the sides. Now, the sides are no longer leaking but it's leaking from the reset button! We called the manufacturer and they said "Sorry, get a new one." but I'm not one to give up so easily. Does anyone know how (or if) this can be fixed?

How do you fix your garbage disposal system?
Q. Whenever I turn on the garbage disposal it doesn't work at all. The water in the sink gets backed up as well. I tried using some chemical product that is supposed to clean out all the pipe clogs but it obviously didn't work. I'd rather fix it on my own then call somebody because it's expensive! With Christmas coming up I don't have a lot of money to blow on a repairman. It's not a necessity so it can wait but I'd like to fix it on my own if at all possible.

To have a garbage disposal under your sink, do you need an outlet or just wires for electricity?
Q. I am going to have a garbage disposal installed, but I don't have a dishwasher or outlet under my sink. Would all I need is a new 120v dedicated circuit outlet under my sink for electricity and the person will be able to install it?

A. Installing and outlet is a good idea. You will install the switch in series with the outlet. You can switch just one outlet on the duplex or both. It's cheap and easy to do. The hard part is fishing the wire from the panel. Check this link. This diagram is showing how to have both outlets on the duplex switched. This is a schematic diagram so obviously it't not going to look like this because you are running Romex, but electrically this is it. It probably best to run the Romex from the panel to the receptacle first. Then run anthother Romex from that box to the switch box.

A. Good site shown by Oil Field Trash. It could be in the discharge tube or the P-trap. I would just remove the P-trap as it is compression fittings that you can either remove with your hands or using channel lock pliers and unclog it there. The discharge tube is sometimes a straight length before it hits the p-trap - that's where my clogs always occur.

A. Oh my. That's a new one. I'd start by pulling the P trap from between the disposal and the wall. Have a bucket underneath to catch whatever falls out. Clean the trap with a brush. Hopefully the trouble is there. If not, the paint may have dried in the disposal itself, which is a bit more of a hassle. Try to clean the drain of the disposal, where it went into the P trap you just took off. If there is no paint there, hand auger the pipe going into the wall. Then file a claim in small claims court.

Why is my garbage disposal waste ending up in my automatic dishwasher?
Q. I live in a two bedroom apartment. When I use my garbage disposal the liquid waste is backing up into my automatic dishwasher. Can anybody tell me why this is happening and how do I fix it?

A. The flexible waste tube from the dishwasher to the disposal needs to be hooked over or attached to a hook under the counter top. This will prevent it from siphoning back into the dishwasher. You can do it yourself or call the landlord.
