I put a bottle brush down the air gap. Problem fixed......There was a plumber who came up with the idea. He put it on a video in cyberspace somewhere. His other idea is to use a wet vac. He seems to think that will work. The other thing is the notion that this water is being evacuated at high speed, and so one's drain may need snaking.

But hey, thanks for the professional advice.

Friendly guys on this site.

and obtw, ron, the plumber did not fix this the first time around. So I wanted more insight into the problem. The Garbage disp is brand spanking new, as is most of the kitchen, thanks to the rest of the crew.

To those who have no idea what this is about due to the untimely deletion, water started coming out of the air gap for the DW. Pipes and GBGD seemed clear although there was some debris in the air gap. It was finally fixed with a bottle brush in the air gap itself.
