My dishwasher waste runs into a juction just below the sink plughole before the U-bend, and this is joined a bit later on by the washing machine waste too. The sink never seems to drain properly, even though I am absolutely certain that the pipes are clear, and when the dishwasher is on it occasionally bubbles up through the sink plughole - in fact my wife accused me of having been sick in the sink on the first few occasions that it happened....
The washing machine is OK at the moment, but in the eraly days, if I had its flexible waste hose pushed too far down into the drain then the outlet valves on the washing machine seemed to stick open, causing the machine to never fill as the water just pumped straight through.
It all feels like a great big airlock, but I don't know what to do about it. Any ideas ??
