My parent left me this house and she hadn't even had her dishwasher hooked up to drain, so I got it hooked up, but there's no disposal. Now this happened. What do?
>>1019326
unclog drain.
Plunge first, that may do it (get a sink plunger).
If that doesn't work, then I would suggest a snake rather than a chemical, but that's just me.
I have a dishwasher that does the same thing: when it flushes out all the water, the sink it's connected to backs up for 20 seconds or so.
It still goes down tho, because my drain isn't clogged.

You used the correct connection, I assume? Basically an upside down "Y"? If so, like anon said, snake out the drain, or check the p-trap and replace/clean if blocked.
was it working before? was it already clogged? if so for how long?
snake is the way to go

Not OP
But, depending on the age of the house and condition of the pipes, a snake won't cut it.
This is what my 1930's house plumbing looked like

what is that shit, rust or grease?
I have a vintage honda, been sitting for 15 years and when I cut the fuel lines they looked like that.
>>1019662
wtf!
>>1019944
probably rust(steel pipes) + grease + random other shit. if a drain doesn't get used very often or you don't deal with it when the starts getting clogged up things will settle and that's what happens
>>1019662
is that mud?

wow..

First clean the drain lines, then do some reading on plumbing a dishwasher and make sure it is plumbed correctly. It won't drain right if the pipes or standpipe are undersized, and it needs an airgap to be safe.

I have no idea but I just went through all of the usual plumbing fixes and that's what I found when I said "fuck it, I'm cutting it out"
>>1020028
It went from a 2 inch trap to a 1.5 inch then dumped into the 4 inch cast iron main drain. I spent all of yesterday fixing this WW2-era abortion
>>1020029
One more because it works so much better and was worth the day off from work

>I was always told to never mix different metal pipes without a dielectric fittings as it causes corrosion to build up in the pipe otherwise. I guess they were right.
You were told correctly. It's usually called "galvanic corrosion".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion
For typical home-plumbing use, the easy way to remember is that pipes and fittings of different metals can be used but they must never touch directly. You must put a plastic fitting or pipe in-between them.

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion
They actually can touch without corrosion, but they cant have an electrolyte between them. You could have a piece of dielectric piece between dissimilar metal, but if the whole thing is flooded with an electrolyte like water then it will corrode. That is why an anode take in a water heater works.

is that steel wool wtf
Not to bump an ancient thread but here's a better pic of the plumbing. -op
