The waste-line for the sanitizing compartment has been altered to a larger waste-pipe. A significant amount of waste water is backing up onto the surrounding floors when grey water from sink basin is released. When all 3-compartments are released at the same time, grey water floods surrounding floor. Consultation with a plumber is necessary to evaluate waste water disposal at the 3-compartment sink to prevent the discharge onto floor surfaces. Proper control measures must be installed to prevent the backing up of sewage onto floor surfaces while maintaining indirect drainage. 2. Waste-line for the walk-in refrigerator currently discharges onto the floor adjacent to the floor drain and shall be properly plumbed with an indirect drainage. 3.
