Hello James,
Here's my suggestion because plumbing is my worst skill.
I'd had the same problem including the wife on my ass.
I called a plumber and not one of those huge company's and had it taken
care.
I paid the $150 and had the lines cleared and my problems all went away and
have not returned.
FYI: I didn't have to replace any plumbing or the garbage displosal.
Good luck.
