We have a double-sink (with garbage disposal and dishwasher) that continually backs up--on average, once every 1 to 2 weeks. The backup is on the garbage disposal side, which is the only side we really use. We plunge it, and then it's good for a week or two.
Our guess is that the design of the plumbing is bad, and the backup is at the T, where the two drains meet.
Can someone please give us some suggestions about remedying the problem. We've seen pictures of the ideal double-sink set up, but they really don't work for us because of the location of the horizontal pipe going to the drain. And we'd also prefer not to have rip everything out.
The sink picture is below.
Thanks in advance for your ideas.
