Clogged Filters 

Dishwashers have two filters inside the machine that is meant to catch food and debris, a small mesh filter and a larger basket shaped filter. In many cases, a poorly draining dishwasher will have a lot of accumulated materials inside these filters. Make sure to clean these filters at least once a month with soap and water to prevent future blockages. 

Bad Hoses 

Another common cause of a dishwasher backup is a clogged hose. The dishwasher drain hose connects to the sink, and sometimes to the garbage disposal. Grease, oil and pieces of food can quickly build up inside the hose and must be removed occasionally. 

Underlying Plumbing Problems 

If you have cleaned the filters and removed debris from your drain hose, and still have major issues then there may be a problem with your plumbing system. There could be a larger clog further inside your drain line, or you may be struggling with hidden pipe damage or out of control root growth. If this is the case, then you will need to get professional care from a certified plumber. They will have the training and specialized equipment needed to thoroughly inspect your plumbing system and diagnose the exact reason for your trouble. If pipe damage, large blockages or root growth is discovered, then they will have the ability to perform a hydro jetting service, professional drain cleaning or trenchless pipe repair, so you can restore the efficiency and safety of your plumbing system as soon as possible.
