Comment: We just finished renovating our kitchen, in a home that we recently purchased. We never really used the kitchen sink prior to the renovation. We hooked up the new dishwasher, and when the dishwasher drains to the sink plumbing, it ends up backing up in to both sides of the sink. It took about 1 hour for the water to drain down to below the drain level. We also have two showers that drain pretty slowly.
Comment: every other month the water department send me a letter, informing me the water meter at my house never stop running, possible leak that should be checked by home owner.
