Water from cupboard overflow pipe when kitchen sink drains

[Rorr2001]

Hi all,

I've just moved into a new house and had a nightmare last night from a pretty simple thing.

I filled the kitchen sink with water to do some washing up. Then when drained the water found it coming up of a little pipe in the cupboard directly underneath (ie into my kitchen).

I'll try and attach some pics but it's a weird thing that I've not seen at a place before, so any help with how I can stop this would be very appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Rory

It's where a washing machine or dishwasher waste hose has been removed.

If you go and ask an old man in an orange uniform at B&Q, for a blanking plug for a washing machine hose he may find one. Or pop in to a reusable plumbers merchants and get one.

Easy to solve and inexpensive

Aha. I've got no washing machine at the minute so that'll be it!

Thanks SG

That's the more expensive fix, buy a washing machine

One of these will do it, best to scrounge one though from Merchant or plumber:

Washing Machine Outlet Hose Blank Spigot Cap Dishwasher Stopper Nozzle Plug Trap | eBay
