The leaks can be insidiously small and slow and damage your wood floor over time.

Or,

they can be catastrophic failures resulting in floods, some of which can't even be explained...

UNTIL NOW!

The Perfect Storm, a murder mystery.

The scene opens in a busy kitchen. A double sink, which shares the same drain pipe with a garbage disposal and a dishwasher.

An un-suspecting homeowner notices a slow drain, indicating the disposal need to be run.

Not noticing that the stopper is down in the adjacent sink drain, the homeowner turns on the hot water, as usual, and then turns on the disposal.

What happens next is almost too much for the old director to bear.

Where was all that debris and water supposed to go? Even proper venting of a kitchen sink can be no match for the closed pressure of this event.

The homeowner effectively back flushes the dishwasher with waste and out it comes, under the dishwasher.

Please consult a plumber for alternative draining of your dishwasher, and/or garbage disposal to effectively bypass this perfect storm, altogether.
