    Garbage Disposal pushing water/debris into adjacent sink.

    Thanks for the advice. This is the original plumbing except at one time maybe 20 years ago I had to re-do some of it to fit the position of the new sink. I followed the original design except lengthening or shortening a couple of straight pieces. I will consider reworking it per your...

    Garbage Disposal pushing water/debris into adjacent sink.

    That's what we do, but it's annoying because we have a dish dryer in that sink and sometimes it has a lot of wet dishes at the same time you want to use the disposal. If we forget to remove the dishes, then they get covered in debris.

    Garbage Disposal pushing water/debris into adjacent sink.

    Wanting to move shower drain

    Wanting to move shower drain

    I'm working on a basement shower. The 2" PVC drain (in the concrete foundation) is in one corner of the shower, and I'd like to move it to the center. Measured from inside the drain, the existing drain drops 10.5" below the concrete surface. I plan to rent a concrete saw and cut a channel...
