Hi,
Unfortunately dishwasher repair person said my problem is the drain for my dishwasher is plugged where it goes into abs drain pipe. More unfortunate, is that the hose for the dishwasher goes though the floor into basement behind an enclosed finished wall. Can not see where it joins the drain pipe in wall. I know I can take some of the drywall down and fix problem but then I hole in wall and drain still be in wall. I am wondering if I could hook up the dishwasher drain hose to drain pipe for bathroom sink(that runs behind dishwasher) that I have access too though the kitchen wall. See picture. This pipe joins into a 4 inch drain pipe from kitchen sink and bathtub. Worried about back flow into dishwasher. Can I install a trap? Is their a special valve that can be installed to stop any problems. The kitchen sink is not close to dishwasher.The hole in wall is behind stove in the picture, close to dishwasher. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I really do not want to wreck the wall.
