My ex wife needs a snake ran thru her...

[Da Prez]

pipes at her house... Dam dishwasher keeps spewing the water all over the dam place everytime it rinses... I've pulled it out and made sure everything was connected, and it did it again today...

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated...

Check the p traps for blockage on the drains under the sink.

Has she had a new Disposal installed?? If yes, there is a block-off plug in the disposal that needs to be knocked out. Dishwasher will not drain at all if it is not removed. I speak from experience.

I had that problem at my old house....I just rented one over at the Depot, and did it myself.

I know you said she's your Ex and all, but does that mean you aren't even occasionally running the snake for her anymore?? ;)

I had a good LOL at this one.

you and claudette got a divorce? i guess that i'm just not keeping up with stuff anymore...i had no idea.

[STANGGT40]

just out of curiosity, is this a new dishwasher or new disposal? if so, when you made the connection at the drain pipe under the sink (disposal), did you make sure that the "knock-out" was removed from the connection point? that's a common mistake and it will force all of the drained water back through the auxillary drain. this usually happens when a disposal is replaced or a new dishwasher is installed, because generally the drain for the dishwasher is ran through the disposal, which has the "knock-out" that must be removed.

Yea we got a divorce, she's still my best friend tho...

And no this isn't a brand new dishwasher, I did make sure to remove that plug when I did the install a couple of years ago...

I don't think Daneeka would like that anymore than I would Fred...


The disposal and dish washer were installed around the same time years ago and it has worked fine.

So I go to home depot and ask about renting a snake?!?!

You can but it's a bit of a bitch if you've not done it before. Call around to some local plumbing companies to see what they'd charge to snake out a line. Might be a little bit more money off the hip, but guaranteed to be done right the first go-round.

No shit. Some things are worth paying for and that is one of them.

CobraChic is the X wife? I havent had time to be on the board lately so Iv missed a lot of stuff.

if there is trees around the house than there is probally roots running through the pipes and you will have to snake it once or twice a year. A neighbor at my old house told my to pour ice cream salt through all the toilets and that will kill all the roots but I did not stay long enough after doing that to see if it works. Hope it works
