 Help ASAP! I need some advice.
Author: PlbgHelp (Non-US)

So my sink has been having problems since a month ago, water comes up the sink even when im not running water anywhere else on the apartment. I live at an apartment complex, but the tenant says each unit has separate drains and pipes. The water coming up has food particles, I have an in-sinkerator but it is running just fine, I checked into it. Water comes up both sides of the sink. I passed a line (snake), long enough but couldnt fine any clogging. We do not understand what is happening. When I turn on the insinkerator while blocking the other outlet from the sink, water seems to pass down along with the pressure. Help!! Thank You. Any comment would be greatly appreciated.
