Anyhow, I'm stumped on what the issue is. Any suggestions?

One other thing if you use to much soap that cam cause a leak as well. Just look at your shower drain after you wash your hair; see how slow it drains with all the bubbles same thing in your dishwasher.

Also let me add I hate hate plumbing problems. It always seems simple but it never is and if you need help from a professional get ready to shell out the $$$.

I have my own home and a few rental properties so I have become pretty handy over the years to try to save me some dollars. I encourage everyone to try to tackle a home repair on your own first at the very least you will gain some knowledge and if you can't fix it call a professional; when they come watch them and try to learn for the next time.

If you are dealing with natural gas or electricity be extremely carefully. I personally don't F with any of my natural gas stuff. My gas fireplace thermal coupler went it seemed super easy to repair but i still shelled out the money for a professional to do it; the risk was to high if I screwed up.
