Ever since we moved into our house (1950s ranch on slab) six years ago, the dishwasher has backed up into the kitchen sink whenever it drains. There’s probably at least a quart that backs up every time. Twice we’ve had to have a plumber snake out the main line for unrelated clogs. But both times this also took care of the back ups for a while, but the issue eventually came back. We've long since learned to live with it.
At the same time, we’ve had fairly regular problems with both of our toilets backing up. It eventually got so bad that about six weeks ago I got smart and finally replaced both toilets with Toto Drakes. Problem solved.
But here’s the crazy thing: Ever since I replaced the toilets, the amount of dishwasher water that drains into the kitchen sink has been slowly decreasing and now there’s almost no back up.
Did I somehow kill two problems with one solution? If so, how? I never would have thought the two were related.
Thanks
