The sink drains slowly through the waste disposal

A slow sink can involve the disposal outlet or downstream waste route. A running motor does not prove that the drainage path is clear.

Compare the bowls

Say whether another sink bowl also drains slowly and whether water rises when a dishwasher empties. Those relationships can help locate the enquiry beyond the motor housing.

Keep the pipe route visible

A photograph of existing pipework can help with access planning. Do not disconnect a full trap to create a view. Assessment should distinguish an appliance problem from a drainage restriction before work is proposed.
