Suppose you have noticed water spewing from the air gap on your sink while the dishwasher drains, you are not alone. Several Benbrook residents have shared quick fixes for this common kitchen problem.
Most often, the issue comes from a clogged hose connecting the air gap to the garbage disposal. Cleaning out the tube usually resolves the issue. In some cases, homeowners have chosen to disconnect the air gap altogether after consulting with a plumber, even replacing the opening with a built-in soap dispenser for a cleaner look.
Before calling in a professional, check the drain hose for buildup and clear it if needed. It may be a simple fix that saves both time and money.
